Freud's India

Sigmund Freud and India's First Psychoanalyst Girindrasekhar Bose

Beschreibung

This book provides a suspenseful exploration of the conflictual relationship between Sigmund Freud and Girindrasekhar Bose, the first president (as of 1921) of the Indian Psychoanalytic Society and the most prominent promoter, though also contester and complicator, of Freudian ideas in South Asia from the 1920s to the 1940s.
