Reviews

Burston's book is an outstanding work of scholarship in which he favourably reviews Wilhelm Reich and Erich Fromm's contention that 'sadomasochism and authoritarianism are not confined to the extreme Right ... . Burston endorses the mode of rational authority needed by democratic entities, which is the one that promotes competence and mutual respect. (Ann Casement, Journal of Analytical Psychology, Vol. 66 (1), 2021)
