Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson vs. Agatha Christie
Side-by-side comparison of two thinkers
Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson
1941 – present
Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson is an American author. Masson is best known for his conclusions about Sigmund Freud and psychoanalysis. In his The Assault on Truth (1984), Masson argues that Freud may have abandoned his seduction theory because he feared that granting the truth of his female patients' claims that they had been sexually abused as children would hinder the acceptance of his psychoanalytic methods.
"Every day I get many calls, from all over the world about how awful you are. How awful this article is. How bad it all is for psychoanalysis."
Agatha Christie
1890 – 1976
Dame Agatha Mary Clarissa Mallowan, Lady Mallowan, usually known by her first married name, Agatha Christie, was an English author known for her 66 detective novels and 14 short-story collections, particularly those revolving around fictional detectives Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple. She is widely regarded as one of the greatest writers, particularly in the mystery genre.
"It is a curious thought, but it is only when you see people looking ridiculous that you realize just how much you love them."
