Editorial Reviews
Review
...Schwartz's pessimism allows the author (and the reader) to examine uncomfortable feelings, which psychoanalysis holds as the key to improved understanding of true reality. This book contains extensive explanatory notes for each chapter, as well as a very extensive bibliography. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty and researchers; professionals and practitioners.Choice

The Revolt of the Primitive is a fascinating account of an intellectual's attempt to understand his own history and the strange cultural forms which give shape to it, past and present. In documenting these bizarre forms and attempting to specify their inner meaning. Schwartz teaches us a lot about what motivates some of the key political struggles of our time.Human Relations

Product Description
This work explores the psychological dynamics of the gender war and political correctness. Perceptions of men as abusers, sexual predators, and deadbeat dads have become firmly entrenched in our culture, Schwartz argues, based on bogus information and not on solid objective facts. Aiming to dispel some of these negative images by delving into the psychological dynamics that have caused them and revealing the hard facts about how we view men and women in our society, Schwartz questions the current gender war. This book will be of interest to scholars and students in the areas of psychology, women's and men's studies, social policy, child development, and family therapists.
