Actually, to correct my brief review, Hopkins suggests that what Khan needed most of all was a therapuetic process that included regression to dependence and a deep analysis of his false self disorder. Anyway, after reading the biography for the fifth time, it is still mind-boggling and stimulating.

A superb account of the life and work of Masud Khan. The rich narratives of his patients are gripping, and the book is a lesson for practitioners in omnipotence, guruism and the dangers of boundary violation. One might argue with Hopkins statement that a Klienian analysis would have saved Khans conflicted soul; but the story as a whole is truely powerful. Highly recommended.
