10 Things You Didn't Know About Freud

Presented by Alistair Ross
Tuesday, 14th December 2021 8pm to 9.30pm

Synopsis:Sigmund Freud holds an endless fascination, not simply because of his unique ideas that helped share the 20th century. A complex character, he was a man of contrasts. He could be charismatic, charming, yet also caustic and callous. Once crossed he was never forgiving. An ardent atheist, he was fascinated by his Jewish religion. This lecture explores some lesser-known aspects of his life. Alistair Ross is author of: Freud - Pocket Giant (History Press, 2016); Introducing Contemporary Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy (Open University Press, 2019); and Sigmund Freud: Life and Work (Rowman & Littlefield, 2022)

Biography:Alistair Ross is currently Associate Professor in Psychotherapy and Director of Psychodynamic Studies at Oxford University. He is also a Governing Body Fellow at Kellogg College, Oxford. His previous career was as a Minister of Religion (Baptist), teaching pastoral care and counselling in various theological colleges, and being Director of the Clinical Theology Association/Bridge Pastoral Foundation. He trained at Leicester with Michael Jacobs, then led the Psychodynamic programme at the University of Birmingham. His research interests relate to the interface between religion, spirituality, psychoanalysis and psychodynamic therapies.
