For more information on the book: This recorded online event celebrates the launch of ’Diary of a Fallen Psychoanalyst: The Work Books of Masud Khan 1967-1972’, with Brett Kahr, Linda Hopkins and Steven Kuchuck contributing to the discussion and readings from the text. 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. For more information or to purchase the book:
