Brett Kahr`s Top Ten 2021

Professor Brett Kahr Professor Brett certainly knows something about the art of authoring books. Over the decades, he has written or edited sixteen volumes and has served as series editor for more than seventy-five further titles.

Most recently, he has published Freud’s Pandemics: Surviving Global War, Spanish Flu, and the Nazis (Karnac Books, 2021). This highly pertinent book describes how the great Sigmund Freud survived not one but, rather, six separate pandemics during his own lifetime and yet still managed to thrive. Kahr examines what lessons each of us can learn from Freud about the art of resiliency and the efficacy of what he has come to refer to as “psychological vaccination”.

Karnac Books has released Brett’s new volume as the inaugural title in the new “Freud Museum London Series”, in collaboration with Freud Museum London.
