Title: Psychology, art, and antifascism
Description: "In 1934, Viennese art historian and psychoanalyst Ernst Kris invited his mentee E.H. Gombrich to collaborate on a project that had implications for psychology and neuroscience, and foreshadowed their contributions to the Allied war effort.

In this fascinating biographical and intellectual study, Louis Rose explores the content of Kris and Gombrich's project and its legacy"--
