The Great Barnato

Jackson, Stanley

Penguin Books (SA) (Pty) Ltd

In this book, a distinguished historian of medicine surveys the basic elements that have constituted psychological healing over the centuries. Dr. Stanley W. Jackson shows that healing practices, whether they come from the worlds of medicine, religion, or philosophy, share certain elements that transcend space and time. Drawing on medical writings from classical Greece and Rome to the present, as well as on philosophical and religious writings, Dr. Jackson shows that the basic ingredients of psychological healing―which have survived changes of name, the fall of their theoretical contexts, and the waning of social support in different historical eras―are essential factors in our modern psychotherapies and in healing contexts in general.

This is the biography of a family known as the "Rothschilds of the East". Bankers to successive Ottoman rulers and leading citizens in Baghdad for centuries, they accumulated a fortune. The first Sassoon to wear Eastern dress arrived in England in 1858. Within a few years the family boasted two baronetcies and was sending its sons to Eton and Oxford. The Shah of Persia and later King Edward VII were to be guests in the Sassoon homes and hunting lodges. A Sassoon woman simultaneously owned and edited the "Sunday Times" and the "Observer". Sir Philip Sassoon, millionaire host, politician and aesthete, was private secretary to Field Marshal Haig and Lloyd George. His cousin Siegfried was the war poet.
