Dr Barry G. Gale's background with regard to Freud and psychoanalysis began with two years of study under Dr Bruno Bettelheim, a Vienna-trained Freudian psychoanalyst who was a Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Chicago where Gale received his Masters and PhD degrees. Gale spent an additional eight years doing research on Freud, his family and the fin de siecle period in Austria. His publications include a major biography of Charles Darwin, which was widely reviewed and met with a favorable response. Harvard Professor Richard Lewontin, in the New York Review of Books, writes: "Barry Gale has changed all that...[the traditional view of Darwin]...What is appealing in Gale's work is a picture of a life in the social community of science that corresponds to our everyday experience of how careers are built." Gale taught at Cambridge University (where he was a National Science Foundation Dissertation Fellow) and Johns Hopkins (at the Paul H. Nitze School for Advanced International Studies). See less
