Zusammenfassung:Gifted psychoanalyst and generational bête noire, M. Masud R. Khan (1924-1989), through his candor and scandalous behavior, exposed the bigotry of his proponents-turned-detractors. The son of a wealthy landowner in rural India (now Pakistan), Khan grew up in a world of privilege radically different from the Western lifestyle he would adopt after moving to London. Notorious for his flamboyant personality and, at first, acknowledged as a brilliant clinician, Khan was closely connected to many creative and accomplished individuals, including Donald Woods Winnicott, Anna Freud, Robert Stoller, Michael Redgrave, Julie Andrews, Rudolph Nureyev, and many more. Khan's subsequent downfall offers interesting insights not only into his psychic fragility but into the world of intrigues and deceptions pervasive in the psychoanalytic community of the time. Psychologist Hopkins makes use of unprecedented access to a complete copy of Khan's unpublished Work Books, as well as interviews with Khan's peers, relatives, and analysands in order to provide a balanced account of Khan as a talented and deeply conflicted individual.--From publisher description.
