In 1919, one of Sigmund Freud’s most brilliant protégés, Viktor Tausk, died in a gruesome suicide. But who was really responsible for his death? Was it the act of a depressed young man looking for relief from his own internal demons? Or was he driven to his death by the manipulation of his mentor? In short – was it suicide or murder by mind? The Murder Trial of Sigmund Freud explores the complicated and twisting internal landscape of this towering figure and creator of psychoanalysis.
