This author wrote the great book."A life of one's own."She was the sister of the scientist P.B.Blackett who won the Nobel Prize for physics.
She became a psychoanalyst and this book is an original and creative effort to understand the blocks preventing her from creativity.
She had always wished to be a painter but was unsatisfied with how her work felt dead and meaningless when she simply followed the" rules"
It is now recommended in Art Schools but is fine for the general reader with a little understanding of Freud.
She also wrote,"An experiment in Leisure" and "Eternity's Sunrise" which like her first book are based on her diaries,She died i 19998 aged 97 and her last book has just been published [ Bothered by Alligators]She left it unfinished and someone else has edited it,
There are some colour plates in it.All worthwhile, amazing and life changing reading
