In conversation with Elliot Philipp

Abstract

When Hugh Freeman heard of Elliot Philipp's connection with the Freud family he invited him to be interviewed for the Psychiatric Bulletin. Elliot Philipp's own background as a doctor is very definitely not in psychiatry, although during Second World War service in the Royal Air Force he did become very interested in the psychological effects of flying stress in air crew and even took out membership of the Section of Psychiatry in the Royal Society of Medicine. Gynaecology has, however, since the war been his speciality and all his postgraduate training and practice has been in gynaecology, obstetrics and surgery. Elliot Philipp met the great Sigmund Freud himself and even after Freud's death, continued to be invited to family gatherings in their home at 20 Maresfield Gardens, which has since become the Freud Museum.
