The Laws of the Father
The Laws of the Father exhibition at the Freud Museum.
Interested in Criminology? Want to know how crime detection evolved? Then get down to the Freud Museum, Maresfield Gardens, Hampstead NW3, this exhibition sheds new light on that period through a dramatic father and son conflict.
Hans Gross (1847–1915) founded modern Criminology: his son Otto (1877-1920) was an anarchist, a drug addict - and an early psychoanalyst. He saw psychoanalysis as part of a social and sexual revolution. Here was a classic father-son conflict: a patriarch against a son who advocated matriarchy. In 1913 Hans Gross had Otto committed to a psychiatric clinic.
The exhibition runs until February 1st 2009. The museum is open Wednesdays to Sundays 12 - 5 p.m only and admission is £5:00 or £3:00 for concessions; children under 12 years are free.
