By positing that the father of modern psychiatry was "fundamentally an artist, " Lesley Chamberlain explores the meaning of Freud's life and work through a new lens. His rigorous examination of the dynamism and structures of the unconscious, she argues, is in itself an important work of art. Drawing on Freud's writing on art and aesthetics, Chamberlain uses part biography and part critique to recast the legacy of a genius in The Secret Artist.
