Biography
David Cohen is a prolific writer, film-maker and trained psychologist, as well as the founder of Psychology News.
"Perhaps when you reach the exalted level of a John B. Watson, a Melanie Klein, a Sigmund Freud, then parent-child relationships are plain sailing. Writer, film-maker and psychologist David Cohen seeks to find out in what is described in the intro as ‘a unique study’, each chapter focusing on a key figure in a historical context...it’s tricky to pick out the freshest, tastiest morsels." - Jon Sutton, The Psychologist
