Description: A brilliantly witty book about the intertwined lives of psychoanalyst Ernest Jones surgeon Wilfred Trotter and the guru of psychoanalysis Sigmund Freud. Welsh - born psychoanalyst Ernest Jones was Sigmund Freud's closest associate and most fervent disciple. Clever self - confident and intensely ambitious Jones promoted psychoanalysis as a kind of secular religion. Meanwhile his intimate friend Wilfred Trotter a celebrated surgeon who saved the life of George V and who took on Freud as a patient during his London exile refused to yield to the seductions of the new Freudianism. A quintessentially English figure Trotter was unimpressed by slick medical careerists distrusted grand theories and lacked pomposity and self - regard. From the first psychoanalytic congress in Salzburg in 1908 to the illness of King George in the late 1920s and the meeting of Freud and Trotter in 1939, Seamus O Mahony tells the story of these three figures and their intertwined lives with his customary wit and erudition. Not only the story of the development of psychoanalysis this is a book about the sexual obsessions of intellectual and bohemian circles in London Cambridge and Vienna of Bloomsbury of doctors in pursuit of wealth and fame. It covers a pivotal thirty years in European history and reveals how and why the writings of a failed neurologist from Vienna became so influential.
