Janet Malcolm on the Stand

I love "in the Freud archives" and I recommend everyone read it. This recommendation isn't about "was Malcolm right and Masson wrong" -it's about the sheer joy of reading.

That. And the amazing minutia of power politics between the Freud foundation, Other practitioners, guardians of "the truth" and the role of historians and reappraisal of things. Remembering that this is tied up in amazing petty differences alongside quite large events like the backdrop of WW2, the emergence of pharmacological approaches to mental health, splits in psychoanalysis, cultural differences europe/britain/America, and of course.. money. It's always about money.
