...chapter on Freud in Paris is largely conjecture, based mostly on vague circumstancial evidence about medical activities in late 19th century France. In a passage indicative of the thin ice his assumptions slide on, Masson admits that, "although we cannot prove, in the strict sense of the word, that Freud, too, witnessed such autopsies, it seems very probable that...
