The Assault on Truth
Freud's Suppression of the Seduction Theory
Why people recommend it
The Assault on Truth by Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson is a critical examination of modern psychology, Sigmund Freud, and the systemic suppression of trauma. Candace Owens frequently featured the book on her show, Candace, as a core selection for her book club, recommending it to her audience to illustrate the dark history of modern psychology and its relationship to child abuse and trauma-based mind control. Owens argued that reading the text helps expose the manipulative tactics and lies utilized by authorities, explaining why institutional figures often attempt to discredit critics by accusing them of insanity. Furthermore, she referenced the book to support her sociological arguments regarding how victims can sometimes become the most ardent defenders of their own oppressors. By working through this title alongside other historical texts, Owens urged her listeners to confront these difficult truths in order to make sense of modern mass gaslighting and systemic deception. The book serves as a vital cornerstone for her audience's ongoing investigations into institutional power dynamics and historical psychological narratives.
