[edit] will be archiving…
Hi Austerlitz. As explained several times in the archived talk page, this page is to discuss relevant proposed changes for the article; not a place for monologues or endless quotations. I will be archiving all irrelevant posts in Talk:Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson/Archive 1.
This said, thanks for your continuing efforts in improving the Jeffrey Masson article, which I believe is one of the most important of psychology articles. ―Cesar Tort 18:50, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Great Improvement
Cesar, has this been you? Congratulations, well done! Best wishes for a happy Year 2007,

[edit] ages of children
- "He has two children. Ilan (10) and Manu (5)"
I think the ages should be removed. Who will be staring at this article eternally to change the ages every time one of this kids has a happy birthday?
BTW, Masson has just read this article and he has told me thru email: "You did a good job! Best, Jeff ".
"You" are, of course, all editors involved in the improvement of this article.

[edit] Kurt Eissler
He has no wikipedia entry until now. Judging from what Masson has written about him, for example: We sent each other our papers, and I noticed that Eissler almost never wrote something trivial. Whether I agreed with his ideas or not, I had to recognize that he was always engaged in serious, controversial, and significant research. When it came to Freud, the man, however, there was nothing too trivial for his close scrutinity. FINAL ANALYSIS, page 121. it IS WORTHWILE to make him known to wikipedia readers, too.
Masson could do that; in case he wants to spend some time on it.

- Austerlitz: Just write a letter to Masson asking for a short article. He liked this article, as you can see above. We can do the Kurt Eissler wiki-formatting. —Cesar Tort 16:54, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

- Cesar: I cannot write a letter to Masson, he has got to do so much, I am sure he is not going to answer.

[edit] Mizrahi and Sephardic
Masson in his book "My Father's Guru" says that the family of his father has been of sephardic origin. Why did you change this to mizrahi? Austerlitz -- 88.72.22.230 (talk) 00:27, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Neutrality questioned
I question the neutrality of the point of view in the section Reaction of psychoanalytic community: "Daniel Burston ... states ... a single etiological hypotheses [sic, is this a misspelling? one hypothesis, multiple hypotheses] ... Burston misunderstands [and goes on to repeat the misspelling]."
From what point of view does the editor say "Burton misunderstands"? I see citation needed at the beginning of this section and think another citation might be needed for these several sentences quoted here.
Additionally, it is interesting that Ana Freud, famously protective of her father's reputation, allowed Masson to edit Freud's letters after he had been removed from his position at the archives. Time permitting, I will attempt to follow-up on this. Dbm014 (talk) 20:28, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
- The lack of neutrality is not the only problem. The sentence 'Burston misunderstands that this has not been a matter of a single "etiological hypotheses" only but a decision about memory talking from experience or memory deriving from fantasy (which does not include real perpetrators)' seems muddled. It isn't clear to me what its author is trying to say. It should be either re-written or deleted. Skoojal (talk) 07:35, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Quotation
The phrase: "The problem is my truth is not your truth." given with quotationmarks in the text does not coincide with what J.M. Masson has said in the interview, according to my perception. I think it is best to quote what he can be heard to have said. Therefore I have to listen to the text another time.

[edit] Interview with Hillary
Masson says that from talk with Alexandra David-Neel there is a lengthy transcription. I wonder why it has not been published? (hi Jeffrey, just do it) Austerlitz -- 88.72.29.169 (talk) 10:53, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] "Removed poorly worded criticism"
Daniel Burston for example states that "Masson mistakenly argues that the validity of psychoanalysis hinges on a single etiological hypotheses -- namely, the seduction theory." [1] Burston misunderstands that this has not been a matter of a single "etiological hypotheses" only but a decision about memory talking from experience or memory deriving from fantasy (which does not include real perpetrators).
