Never previously published - now edited and annotated for a
contemporary readership by Linda Hopkins and Steven Kuchuck.
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.
