Jeffrey Moussaieff Mason

Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson, an American residing in New Zealand, is the author of a number of books. He is best known for concluding that Sigmund Freud changed his mind early in his career about the truth of the childhood sexual abuse many of his women patients alleged to have experienced. His controversial conclusions were discussed in a series of “New York Times” articles by Ralph Blumenthal, to the considerable dismay of the psychoanalytic establishment.

Mason subsequently wrote several books critical of psychoanalysis, psychotherapy and psychiatry, starting with “The Assault on Truth: Freud’s Suppression of the Seduction Theory”. In recent years, he has written several books on the emotional life of animals, one of which, “When Elephants Weep”, has been translated into twenty languages.
