Masson later wrote several books critical of psychoanalysis, including "The Assault on Truth: Freud's Suppression of the Seduction Theory". In the introduction to "The Assault on Truth", Masson challenged his critics to address his arguments: "My pessimistic conclusions may possibly be wrong. The documents may in fact allow a very different reading." Janet Malcolm interviewed Masson at length when writing her long "New Yorker" article on this controversy, which she later expanded into "In the Freud Archives", a book that also dealt with Eissler and Peter Swales. Masson sued "The New Yorker" for defamation, claiming that Malcolm had misquoted him. The ensuing trial drew considerable attention. The decade-long, US$10 million lawsuit came to a close in 1994 when the court ruled in "The New Yorker" 's favor. "The Court of Appeals affirmed ... that Malcolm had deliberately altered each quotation not found on the tape recordings, but nevertheless held that petitioner failed to raise a jury question of actual malice." Subsequent to the case, Janet Malcolm found her hand-written notes proving that Masson had lied in relation to the remaining disputed quotes; as he had lied in relation to quotes where there were recordings.
