After an introduction by Paolo Migone, an article by Wynne Godley that appeared in 2001 in the London Review of Books, in which he recounts his psychoanalysis with Masud Khan, is published. This article caused embarrassment in the psychoanalytic community, which led to an investigation and a report published by Anne-Marie Sandler in issue 1/2004 of the International Journal of Psychoanalysis, with a commentary by Godley himself. Wynne Godley (1926-2010) was a prominent economist who worked at the British Treasury, and Masud Khan (1924-1989) was a London-based psychoanalyst of Pakistani origin, close to Donald Winnicott, who was his third analyst; Khan (who edited some of Winnicott’s works) gave important contributions to psychoanalysis, and was co-director of Freud Copyrights. In his introduction, Paolo Migone offers reflections that transcend the specific case of Masud Khan and address, more broadly, the issue of training in psychoanalysis and psychotherapy.
