Each carefully structured to obfuscate rather than reveal.  What happens in a world where emotional veracity is central and revealing it is the name of the game.  In another brilliant book Jeffrey Berman reads a serious of autobiographies by major psychoanalysts, from Sigmund Freud through Wilfred Bion and Masud Khan to the Sigmund’s recently deceased granddaughter  Sophie Freud.  Berman reveals that even in such a world, the complexity of imaging one’s own life is devilishly hard work for the author, while Berman makes it easy work for the reader.  A must read for all engaged in thinking about what our work reveals, like it or not, about ourselves. * Sander L.
