Scope and content

Articles regarding the departure of Dr Jeffrey Masson as research director of the Sigmund Freud archives and responses to his book, 'Freud: The Assault on Truth'. The cuttings are mainly taken from newspapers and magazines from the UK and the USA; there is also one article from the French periodical 'L'Ane', with an incomplete translation.

Also included is an article about research by Peter Swales on the family life of Sigmund Freud (1982).

Some articles were received as cuttings and others as photocopies, but for preservation reasons all items have been copied onto archival quality paper and the originals discarded.
