Winner of the 2007 Gradiva Award and the 2006 Goethe Award for Psychoanalytic Scholarship. False Self: The Life of Masud Khan is the definitive biography of one of the most engaging and controversial figures of British psychoanalysis. To tell his story, Linda Hopkins makes use of Khan's unpublished Work Books. She conducted countless rich interviews with Khan's peers, relatives, and analysands to provide a balanced account of a talented and deeply conflicted individual.
Linda Hopkins, PhD, is a clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst in private practice. She is a member of teaching faculty at the International Psychotherapy Institute and co-editor of Diary of a Fallen Psychoanalyst: The Work Books of Masud Khan 1967-1972 with Steven Kuchuck (Karnac Books, 2022).

[Hopkins's] biography goes far beyond relating Masud's life. Her balance breathes fresh life into this Lear-like man who lost his kingdom, his wives, and his way while still staking out a claim to have shown analysis a new and much more intimate, much more loving, way to present itself... . An absorbing read." -- Republic of Letters
