A memoir from India’s most celebrated psychoanalyst, starting with his childhood in the provincial towns of undivided Punjab, going on to his training as a psychoanalyst in Germany and, eventually, his simultaneous engagement in research, writing and practice. Fearless and revelatory with regard to the self and its motivations.
