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.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: The Guru The Bagman And The Sceptic A Story Of Science Sex And Psychoanalysis\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): O'mahony Seamus\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing Plc\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781803285658\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 336 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 1\/9\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Psychoanalytical Theory (Freudian Psychology)","brand":"O'mahony Seamus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49624386896177,"sku":"IN-G-9781803285658","price":28.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781803285658.jpg?v=1724944310","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781803285658-the-guru-the-bagman-and-the-sceptic-a-story-of-science-sex-and-psychoanalysis","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
