Judging from the review, this is precisely the kind of book I can never read. Freud never suggested that his description of the mind was exclusive and all encompassing. Rosenfield (or his reviewer?) need to over-characterize and limit everything so as to create a dynamic with which he can take issue.
Cheerskep's model seems good enough to me with the possible objection that one can't quite characterize the brain as an independently thinking part of the mind. Even this can be answered, I think. I'd also like to thank him for my "racy, frisky" brain. Sometimes I wonder.
