Contemporary views of the psychoanalytic process now make it possible for us to better see elements held in common between clinical psychoanalysis and works of imaginative literature. Brenda Maddox's Freud's Wizard: Ernest Jones and the Transformation of Psychoanalysis (2007) is the product of impressive research by a seasoned biographer who has created an intriguing story of the man whose efforts were responsible for launching Freud's psychoanalysis into the English-speaking world. Freud's Wizard illuminates Ernest Jones's life predominantly by way of the relationship with his Herr Professor and, in so doing, depicts many of the fascinating behind-the-scenes intrigues that were played out among the central characters in a drama written and directed by Sigmund Freud. The intersection of Jones's and Freud's lives at the decisive moment of 1908 forged a relationship that lasted until Freud's death in 1939.
