behavior and their application to political philosophy. A historian of
the psychoanalytic movement, Dr. Roazen wrote many books on Sigmund
Freud and his followers. Based on Roazen's interviews with

patients and friends from 1965 to 1967, his works contained many
controversial revelations and often reevaluated Freud's methods and
practices. He liked to cite Anna Freud's comment that "Roazen is a
menace whatever he writes". Paul Roazen wrote books about
other
