Psychoanalysis in Finchley Road


I had no idea that Freud's famous psychoanalytical couch was here in London, nor that he had moved to Finchley Road to continue his work following increasing harassment by the Nazi party in his native Austria.  I had imaged the couch to be black or red leather so to see the real thing was a bit of a surprise - it certainly looked very comfy! His whole study had quite a comfortable air about it,.

Freud was an avid collector of antiquities and there were all kinds of strange statues around the museum that he had collected over the years

This is the first time I've added an entry for a country relating to a particular person, but the it's my blog, so my rules.
