The answer is yes, but subject to the qualification that the individual so memorialized is actually a psychologist, which some would question. Inevitably, it's a comic book about Freud. The book is: Introducing Freud: A graphic guide to the father of psychoanalysis (2007) by Richard Appignanesi and Oscar Zarate You can check it out using Amazon.com's "look inside" feature. Some years ago, I directed an earlier version of this book to the attention of a well-known Freud scholar and critic, whose name you would know in a minute if I let it slip. I recall that he pronounced it a bad (i.e. inaccurate) book. But the cartoons are pretty good. Stephen ----------------------------------------------------------------- Stephen L.
