Girindrasekhar Bose

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Girindrasekhar Bose (1886-1953) was an early 20th century South Asian psychoanalyst. He carried on a twenty-year dialogue with Freud. He is known for disputing the specifics of Freud's Oedipal theory, and has been pointed to by some as an early example of non-Western contestations of Western methodologies.

He was the founder of the Indian Psychoanalytic Society.

He has been written about extensively by Christiane Hartnack and Ashis Nandy, among others.
