ABSTRACT
For most people, psychoanalysis begins and ends with Freud. Here and there are pockets of knowledge about lung and Adler - early schismatics from the psychoanalytic movement - and in Britain at least there is also some awareness of the contribution of Donald Winnicott, Melanie Klein and Freud's daughter, Anna. But more than fifty years after his death, and a hundred years since the first genuinely psychoanalytic study was published,3 it is Freud with whom people are still obsessed and who represents those psychoanalytic ideas which have infiltrated the popular culture of the twentieth century. The fascination with Freud shows no signs of abating, whereas interest in his successors is limited to those who are aficionados of the psychoanalytic movement.
