What they say about Adaptations

“…a running critique of the state of the discipline, more accurately, a critique
of the state of Discipline itself in our time…Dr. Freeman has produced a work
that deserves reading by the widest possible audience.”


Peter Wohlauer, MDBoston Psychoanalytic Institute


5.0 OUT OF 5 STARS

BRILLIANT AND LAUGH-OUT-LOUD FUNNY!

Phillip Freeman's book is …about psychoanalysis, psychoanalytic politics,
contemporary culture, and human foibles. Freeman manages to weigh in against the
trend to make psychoanalysis more "relevant" to today's culture by pillorying
that culture… importing stories and concepts from archeology, neurobiology, and
the shtetl to show that the heart and soul of Freud's contribution shouldn't be
diluted by pandering to popular trends…he is not only an intellectual, but a
stand-up comedian and story-telling humorist--think Robin Williams meets
Spaulding Gray... As someone who came from the psychoanalytic tradition, I was
delighted, amazed, and ultimately touched by Freeman's passion and wit.


Michael J. BaderAmazon review

“…a literary genre invented by Phillip Freeman, compounded out of the spirit
Freud's essays, the most brilliant style of university lecture, the most subtle
and savage standup comedy I have ever heard… a marriage of love, wit, great
learning and immense intelligence. I know nothing remotely like them. It is a
fantastic stroke of luck that they have found their way into print.”


Fredric Paul SmolerProfessor of Literature and History, Sarah Lawrence College

"Psychoanalysts tend to take themselves much too seriously… but Phillip Freeman
has an antidote…he holds up a fun house mirror…ruthlessly surveying the field,
mocking every sacred cow he can find. This he does with deadpan psychotic humor
and irresistible charm. Phillip is the Shakespearean fool who illuminates, and
thereby ameliorates, the tragedy.


Owen Renik, M.D. San Francisco Psychoanalytic Institute

"We’re dwarfed not only by the brilliance of Phillip's writing, but by the
theater of his presentation, the uniquely matter-of-fact timbre and pace of his
voice as he glides among his sparkling non sequiturs…"


Alan Pollackin the forward to Adaptations: Disquisitions on Psychoanalysis
1996-2006 (Hanns Sachs Library and Archives, Word Association Publishers,
paperback)

"These brilliant nonlinear annual disquisitions on the state of psychoanalysis,
gild their philosophic pills in marvelous comic display of their author’s
erudition. Charming the reader as they illuminate the multiple problems
currently facing psychoanalysts, they can provide profit and pleasure to a much
wider readership than the local celebrant to whom they were originally
addressed."


Anton Kris, M.D., Boston Psychoanalytic Institute

“…these are the kinds of fast-paced, comedic monologues that warrant
rereading/rehearing, not only because there are more subtle laughs to be had
between the big guffaws, but because attending to the details of the
multi-stranded stories allows for the fullest appreciation of Freeman's
underlying philosophy about psychoanalytic training and what it means in our
current culture. In this fashion, Freeman is more the anthropologist of our
field than anything else—explicating what we all see, but from new vantage
points. The fact that his disquisitions are hilarious helps all of us get
outside enough to catch the view.”


Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association

“…a breath of fresh air that allows us to keep our sense of humor as we confront
the problems challenging psychoanalysis today.”


Psychoanalytic Quarterly

“...his running commentary and side-splitting asides may only amuse for a time.
After our brandy and cigars, we may leave the joint wondering if we should not
get to shelter or send word to France that help may be needed to restore what is
left of our shattered kingdom.”


American Imago

“…a running critique of the state of the discipline, more accurately, a critique
of the state of Discipline itself in our time…Dr. Freeman has produced a work
that deserves reading by the widest possible audience.”


Peter Wohlauer, MDBoston Psychoanalytic Institute
