A vignette on the life of Adrian Stephen with whom I began an analysis in 1946, which ended with his death after 18 months. Adrian was the younger brother of Virginia Woolf, a member of the Bloomsbury Group many of whom had been Apostles at Cambridge. In the 1920s Adrian and his wife Karin qualified in medicine in order to train as psychoanalysts. He featured in a novel by Betty Miller, On the Side of the Angels . His biography is by Jean MacGibbon. Adrian was an important participant in the Freud/Klein Controversial Discussions.
