"Psychoanalysts have long been aware of the fact that extraordinary
intelligence and alarming corruption can co-exist in the same
individual. However, the case of Masud Khan is truly extraordinary.
He combined erudition and charm with thoroughgoing contempt. The
psychoanalytic profession owes a deep debt of gratitude to Steven
Kuchuck and Linda Hopkins, who systematically collected Khan's
papers so that we can study them for ourselves." Glen O. Gabbard,
MD, Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, Baylor College of Medicine
"These beautifully edited Work Books offer a rare glimpse into the
mind of a complicated psychoanalyst. We have much to learn from
Khan about how to be a human being and, moreover, how not to be."
Professor Estela V. Welldon, Emeritus Consultant Psychiatrist in
Psychotherapy, Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust Masud Khan
(1924-1989), was an eminent and, ultimately, scandalous British
psychoanalyst who trained and practised in London during an
important period in the development of psychoanalysis. From August
1967 to March 1980, he wrote his 39 volume Work Books, a diary
containing observations and reflections on his own life, the world
of psychoanalysis, his evolving theoretical formulations, Western
culture, and the turbulent social and political developments of the
time. In this first volume, readers will find fascinating entries
on Khan's colleague and mentor Donald Winnicott and other
well-known analysts of the period, including Anna Freud. Also
featuring in these pages are leaders in the world of culture and
the arts such as Julie Andrews, the Redgraves and Henri
Cartier-Bresson.
Winner of the 2007 Gradiva Award and the 2006 Goethe Award for
Psychoanalytic Scholarship. False Self: The Life of Masud Khan is
the definitive biography of one of the most engaging and
controversial figures of British psychoanalysis. To tell his story,
Linda Hopkins makes use of Khan’s unpublished Work Books. She
conducted countless rich interviews with Khan’s peers, relatives,
and analysands to provide a balanced account of a talented and
deeply conflicted individual.
