Originally published in Contemporary Psychology: APA Review of Books, 1978, Vol 23(6), 475. Seymour Fisher and Roger P. Greenberg respond to Calvin Hall's review (see record 2006-06390-029) of their book The Scientific Credibility of Freud's Theories and Therapy (1977). The authors are are pleased that the reviewer considers their book an “excellent reference volume.” Six previous reviews concluded that it provides a fair and comprehensive analysis of the scientific literature bearing on Freud's theories. They contend that Hall is uncomfortable about approaching Freud's work empirically. Hall insists that one cannot alter any part of Freud's theoretical structure without changing all of it. To disagree with any one part is to be against it all. This is a religious attitude. Freud himself repeatedly reshaped chunks of his theories and did not consider that such local alterations implied radically revising his total theoretical scheme.
