Title: Far too Freudian for my taste!
Product review: I really did not like this book and got bored before I finished it. He starts with Freudian premises that have already been largely rejected by the psychological community. Then Frank builds all of his subsequent beliefs and conclusions on these premises, so if you think the initial assumptions are false, like I did, then the rest of the book just degenerates into a bunch of theoretical nonsense. I am no Bush fan, and I think he is probably nuts in some interesting ways, but this book did not get at any of them. I have heard that Freud was an undiagnosed and untreated drug addict, so his theories have a lot of denial built into them, and certainly no awareness of the addictive family systems that have been developed in recent decades. THAT would be a revealing Bush study, but this one was just a bunch of complicated but essentially silly German beard pulling.
