Synopsis

The Successful Error is an incisive critique, developed by one of Sigmund Freud’s first followers, of the doctrine and methodology of Freudian psychoanalysis. While many critics of the Freudian school fault it for being contradictory to morals or common sense, Rudolf Allers asserts that such arguments ultimately obscure the fundamental issue. Psychoanalysis is a science; consequently, any criticisms of it must use scientific tools—logic, experimentation, measurement. By such methods, the true nature of psychoanalysis reveals itself as a mass of self-contradictions and inconsistencies which is wholly incompatible with any philosophy save its own.

First published in 1940, The Successful Error is a spirited achievement of critical balance, repudiating the fundamental misconceptions and false premises of the Freudian school while also acknowledging the achievements and insights of its flawed yet remarkable founder.
