Ernest Jones

Welsh psychoanalyst who was Freud's official biographer — writing the three-volume Sigmund Freud: Life and Work — and who founded the British Psychoanalytical Society and the International Psychoanalytic Association, making him the most politically powerful figure in institutionalizing psychoanalysis.
