Ian Suttie, Tavistock psychiatrist and a critic of Freud, publishes his only book, The Origins of Love and Hate. He dies just a few weeks after it is published, at the age of only 46. His book goes on to have a tremendous influence on figures such as Fairbairn and Bowlby. He is considered today as one of the precursors of the Independent tradition.
