What a magnificent book! Thoroughly researched, brilliantly written, and well illustrated, it tells the fascinating story of a remarkable man, one of the towering figures in the recent history of personality and clinical psychology. Harry Murray was a lot more than that, too: notably a premier Melville scholar; one of the best stylists in all the literature of the behavioral sciences; at various times a surgeon, anatomist, research physiologist, inventor of the TAT and of multiform personality assessment; charismatic leader, and—we learn here—a great lover. More precisely, an enthusiastic if ambivalent participant in “the dyad,” as he and his “loveress,” Christiana Morgan, called their longstanding, semisecret liaison.
