Not to mention (still in his own words!) \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/personality-disorder-vs-personality-trait.htm\">the many peculiarities of the English character<\/a>\u201d. It was, however, in the most traumatic of circumstances that the<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/freud-vs-jung-similarities-differences.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">father of psychoanalysis<\/a> <\/strong>landed in the capital in 1938, escaping the clutches of Nazi Austria.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Soon after arriving in London, Freud settled at<\/strong> 20 Maresfield Gardens. And it was in these brick, revivalist-style surroundings (which Ernst, his youngest son, helped to renovate) that he was to spend the last year of his life. It was here, too, that Freud\u2019s daughter Anna practised as an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/therapists.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">analyst <\/a>for over four decades after her father\u2019s death.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Even as he struggled with cancer, Freud opened<\/strong> Maresfield Gardens not just to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/dream-therapy.htm\">fellow analysts<\/a> (such as Melanie Klein). But also to figures from<a href=\"https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/how-to-use-a-self-help-journal.htm\"> the world of literature<\/a> (Leonard and Virginia Woolf, H. G. Wells) and art (notably Salvador Dali).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Although the museum may well be a \u201cshrine\u201d for some, it also<\/strong> energetically reflects the liveliness of Freud\u2019s mind. Visitors can admire the outstanding collections of books, paintings, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/losing-something-you-love.htm\">antiquities<\/a>, rugs and furniture that dominate every corner of the house. And Freud\u2019s consulting room \u2013 and, yes, his couch \u2013 are still in situ, objects of awe and wonder that feel so familiar somehow.<\/p>\n<p>The Freud Museum also hosts conferences and courses on a regular basis, so do <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freud.org.uk\/visit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">check their website for further details<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #800080;\">2. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.museumslondon.org\/museum\/145\/bethlem-museum-of-the-mind\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bethlem Royal Hospital Museum<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Monks Orchard Road, Beckenham, Kent BR3.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Despite its Kent address, the Bethlem Royal Hospital is found in the London suburb of Bromley. Founded in 1247, it is one of the world\u2019s oldest institutions dedicated to caring for people with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/improve-your-mental-health.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">mental health difficulties<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Bethlem\u2019s first home was on the site of what is now Liverpool Street Station. Which (some might say) seems appropriate, given that the hospital\u2019s nickname \u2013 Bedlam (a \u201ccolloquial contraction\u201d of Bethlem) \u2013 is a byword for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/how-to-cope-life-is-crazy.htm\">pandemonium<\/a>. Bethlem remained in Bishopsgate for 400 years until moving to Moorfields and then on again, in 1815, to Southwark. But that building metamorphosed into the Imperial War Museum when Bethlem upped sticks again in 1930.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bethlem\u2019s current home in this south-eastern suburb of London is a modern campus<\/strong>. It&#8217;s a world away from the days when the hospital was a central feature of the capital\u2019s tourist trail, with visitors paying to goggle at the \u201clunaticke people\u201d and \u201cpeople that bee distraught in wits\u201d. Long gone, too, are the once-celebrated stone figures (by Caius Gabriel Cibber) known as \u201cRaving Madness\u201d and \u201cMelancholy\u201d that adorned the gates of the institution in the 17th century.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bethlem now houses a small museum that investigates the hospital\u2019s extraordinary history<\/strong>, as well as a gallery that boasts a renowned collection of art designed \u201cto showcase the inspirational talents of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.harleytherapy.co.uk\/counselling\/depression-and-creativity.htm\">artists who have experienced mental health difficulties<\/a>\u201d.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rpharms.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">3.
