Follies of the Wise: Dissenting Essays
Skeptical Inquirer, Nov-Dec, 2006 by Kendrick Frazier
Follies of the Wise: Dissenting Essays. Frederick Crews. Shoemaker & Hoard, Emeryville, Calif., 2006. 416 pp. Hardcover, $26. A collection of many of Crews's best essays of the past fifteen years, including controversial and still widely referred to detailed critiques of Freudian psychodynamic theory and so-called repressed memories.
Many appeared in The New York Review of Books, but other forums are also represented. A skeptic, critical thinker, and erudite writer, Crews skillfully and informatively skewers many other commonly accepted beliefs and practices, among them creationism, psychological tests, hypnosis, UFO reports, and theosophy.--K.F.
