Adam Phillips

Freud's life is of great interest partly because, as the inventor of psychoanalysis, he was preoccupied with the way people tell the stories of their lives. Phillips, psychoanalyst, literary critic and essayist will talk both about Freud's remarkable life and about what Freud had to say about the larger art of biography. Phillips is the general editor of the New Penguin translation of Freud's work and author of many well-known books.
