Title: Hated his opinions; loved his book
Product review: Authors like Szasz and Foucault and Scully have singled out mental illness from other medical conditions for non-treatment before. Masson is one of the most entertaining of the bunch. I had started off with a low opinion of him, based on Janet Malcolm's account, but he is an excellent storyteller, a profound scholar and a diligent researcher. I enjoyed his anecdotes about people like David Rosen and Frederick Perls. His discussions of Carl Rogers and Milton Erikson were brilliant and illuminating.
