it would be interesting to see the interest of such a person who contributed greately to the filed of psychotherapy.
i just think art collections of famous people are worth huge bucks and it is going to be no different in this case. maybe that is the reason why the exhibition is being held in the first place. but atleast it will remind us of his services to the field.
How wonderful that his granddaughter is continuing on with this pioneering work- great way to connect even more people to many of Freud’s groundbreaking ideas.
How does all of this creativity end up in one person and I could not be creative or artistic to save my life?
