What's Wrong With Freud?: A Critical Study of Freudian Psychoanalysis

Religion & Spirituality

Roman Catholic Books

How to recognize-and eliminate-common obstacles to your normal spiritual development. Your advisor? The pioneering Catholic psychologist who proved the importance of religion. And not just any religion. Dr. Rudolf Allers, a younger contemporary of Freud, argued that only the Catholic view of man could explain abnormalities and produce positive personality changes. He alone linked moral and spiritual growth to mental health. Of all Dr. Allers' works, this was both his most ambitious and his most practical: an in-depth explanation of how character is shaped in childhood and afterward-and a helpful guide to rooting out character defects, curing (and preventing) developmental problems, strengthening virtues, and recognizing dormant potential, in both children and adults. Now it's back in print for the first time in decades.

"How we became what we are. There are many explanations. One plausible account is found in the work of Rudolph Allers who writes about the European intellectual landscape from 1850 to the opening decades of the twentieth century...Allers is not alone in recognizing that a true account of human nature may await the recovery of classical antiquity. From Plato and Aristotle, modernity may learn that the immaterial or spiritual component of human nature is not empirically discerned but reasoned to from empirical evidence." - from the foreword by Jude Dougherty

The Psychology of Character

Catholic Education Press

In 1931, preeminent historian and scholar Christoper Dawson commissioned a new series (titled Essays in Order), whose purpose was, in part, “to examine the possibilities of cooperation and of conflict that exist between the Catholic order and the new world.” The world was “passing through one of the most critical moments in its history,” and those who hold to and hand on the Catholic faith must respond to the moment with “moral sympathy and intellectual comprehension.” Identifying the leading voices of the Catholic academy and literary circles, Dawson engaged such luminaries as Jacques Maritain, François Mauriac, Theodore Haecker, and Thomas Gilby, to develop a renaissance of Catholic thought in the face of a darkening age. The Persistence of Order comprises fourteen of those commissioned essays, published across three volumes. The second volume contains Dawson on “The Modern Dilemma”; Rudolf Allers on “The New Psychologies”; Michael de la Bédoyère on “The Drift of Democracy”; Nicholas Berdyaev on “The Russian Revolution”; and Gerald Vann, O.P., on “Being Human.” Each with its own distinctive style and approach, the essays speak to the essential elements of a right political order and a vibrant, virtuous society.

The Successful Error is an incisive critique, 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 stands as 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.

The Successful Error: A Critique of Freudian Psychoanalysis

The Improvement of the Self is an effort “to open the windows of the human soul” so that the light of truth may make abundantly clear what is amiss there and what must be done to correct it. Drawing from his many years of clinical experience, Rudolf Allers enables his readers to use what they know and to do what they can—by God’s grace and their own power—to achieve self-improvement. A properly psychological treatise, founded firmly on Christian philosophy and morality, The Improvement of the Self achieves a harmonious integration of religious and scientific insights and provides a deeply persuasive and practically useful plan for the attainment of a life worth living.
