Criticism of Valery Leibin’s activities

O.E. Akimov at www.humans.ru had published a critical article entitled "Leibin, Freud and Russia. "Non-Russianness" of psychoanalysis". In this article the author accuses Valery Leibin of having caused enormous damage to Russia by "taking up the promotion of contentious teachings of Freud", by “doing everything for the ideology of Freudianism to become the official ideology of Russia" and by "being a brilliant propagandist;

would have remained satisfied with his work". Akimov believes psychoanalysis harmful and dangerous, calls

"the father of shamanism of the 20th century", a clever adventurer". One of the author's claims against Valery Leibin is that he introduced the concept of "Russianness", widely used by Russian nationalists now. Also O.E. Akimov, while calling Valery Leibin "a prominent figure in the psychoanalytic world”, "the greatest expert in the field of theory, practice and history of psychoanalysis”, "the leading psychotherapist”, accuses the latter in causing psychological trauma to his students.In a comment to this article the editor of Polozov Y.S. 12/24/2005 reports that the article O.E. Akimov, along with some other of his materials, was transferred from the rubric "Psychology" to "Trial subject" because "public denunciation might be interesting, but it differs from the constructive and discussible style, which the porta

adheres to.
