Samenvatting:

Hopkins (psychiatry, Temple U. Medical School) presents a detailed biography of acclaimed psychoanalyst M. Masud R. Khan (1924-1989). By way of his flamboyant personality and scandalous personal life, his rise in London and subsequent fall, the author also offers a glimpse at the psychoanalytic and creative communities of his times--text includes interactions with Anna Freud, Julie Andrews, Donald Woods Winnicott, and other figures. The author gained special access to Khan's unpublished Work Books, and through this constructed an extensive portrait of Khan's contributions to psychoanalysis and a balanced perspective on his conflicted private and public lives.
