Dr Marañon appears to be a psychiatrist, rather than an ancient historian, so he probably brings interesting insights.

Since psychiatrists have long since been proven to be 'quacks' and the theories of Freud,Jung et al about as scientific as palm-reading or witchcraft, I very much doubt it. All the evidence has long since demonstrated that pscho-analytic techniques are completely worthless ( and, no, Duncan, that is NOT merely my opinion - but proven, scientific fact !) :wink:

I don't think psychiatrists are quacks, but I do think that writing history books is best left to professional historians. I think Dr Marañon would not allow amateur psychiatrists to take care of his patients.
