Neither had the statistically-based clinical research that is currently performed in the field informing their texts psychology as we conventionally recognize it today was in its infancy in their times. While one was primarily considered a psychologist, and the other primarily an author, the speculative features of both author’s writings have resulted in works that modern readers would recognize as resembling each other’s more than they resemble contemporary psychology. This children's edition of the bestseller Black and British: A Forgotten History is beautifully illustrated in full-colour with maps, portrait galleries, timelines, photos and portraits.While Sigmund Freud came to be known as one of the most (in)famous psychologists of all time, and while Fyodor Dostoevsky established himself as one of the great psychologists of world literature, some modern scientists might point out the audible similarity between ‘Freud’ and ‘fraud,’ and no professor of clinical psychology would be likely to assign The Double as required reading on schizophrenia.
