He received his MD in 1903 and became a member of the Royal College of Physicians. He then entered the field of neurology, working in London hospitals.

Having been made aware of the works of Sigmund Freud in 1905, Jones attempted to adopt his techniques in the treatment of mentally ill children under his care. This resulted, in 1908, in his having to resign his position after complaints were received from parents.

Jones met Jung in 1907 and was enthusiastic regarding the Psychoanalytic Congress which was held the following year. There he met Freud for the first time and the two became life-long friends. Later in 1908, Jones moved to Canada and began teaching in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Toronto. He met again with Freud in 1909 at Clark University where Freud was lecturing.

Jones co-founded the American Psychopathological Association in 1910 and, in 1911, founded the American Psychoanalytic Association. With his prolific output in support of psychoanalysis, Jones became a member of Freud's inner circle. In 1913, he returned to London and founded the London Psychoanalytic Society. In 1919, he founded the British Psychoanalytical Society and became its president, a position he held until 1944. In 1920, he founded the International Journal of Psychoanalysis and served as its editor until 1939. In 1921, he founded the International Psychoanalytic Library, which went on to publish over 50 books in the field. Jones was subsequently instrumental in publishing, with Freud's blessing, the first volumes of Freud's Collected Papers.

During the Nazi era, Jones flew to Vienna and negotiated the emigration of Freud and others to England. Jones was made a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians in 1942. In 1954, he was awarded an Honorary Doctorate from Swansea University. His many works include Papers on Psycho-Analysis (1912), Treatment of the Neuroses (1920), Essays in Applied Psycho-Analysis (1923), Psycho-Analysis (1928), On the Nightmare (1931), The Elements of Figure-Skating (1931), Hamlet and Oedipus (1949) and Free Associations: Memories of a Psycho-Analyst (1959 Posthumous).eBook CodeTitle/Sub-TitlePub.

Jones gives a comprehensive view of the Hamlet literature and shows how the explanation of Hamlet’s mysterious inhibitions lies in his unconscious conflicts. The Hamlet theme is itself an old one, and there is a full discussion of the place of the saga in the complex mythological group to which it belongs. Ground-breaking and influential study of Hamlet in that it mainstreamed the Freudian reading of the play-Hamlet's problem is an Oedipus complex. Inventive, if dubious, attempts to rationalize the play in light of events in Shakespeare's life that brought his own father issues and sexual disgust to the fore (written shortly after Shakespeare's mistress betrayed him with the young man praised in the sonnet sequence), rather more convincing links to myth and attempts to explain changes from the Ground-breaking and influential study of Hamlet in that it mainstreamed the Freudian reading of the play-Hamlet's problem is an Oedipus complex. Really interesting proposal that simplified the Hamlet problem down to a repressed Oedipus Complex. I’m not convinced myself, but I did enjoy the attempt!

Interesting at first, but became tiresome as it went on back to back for several pages at a time. It stopped as soon as the essay hit its stride, and I admit it was a great way to get across a bulk of the historical conversation on the Hamlet problem without slowing it down as much as the points would have had they been individually introduced. An excellent, though flowery, psychoanalytical study of Hamlet, which goes on for 70 pages trying to convince the reader of the legitimacy of psychoanalyzing a literary character before going about its business of providing the actual analysis. Beyond the academic fluff, the key insight is that Hamlet is Shakespeare's alter ego, who suffered from an unresolved Oedipus complex.

Hamlet's famous vacillation and hesitation is due the seemingly opposite movements of repression and regression. Here An excellent, though flowery, psychoanalytical study of Hamlet, which goes on for 70 pages trying to convince the reader of the legitimacy of psychoanalyzing a literary character before going about its business of providing the actual analysis. Beyond the academic fluff, the key insight is that Hamlet is Shakespeare's alter ego, who suffered from an unresolved Oedipus complex. Hamlet's famous vacillation and hesitation is due the seemingly opposite movements of repression and regression.

Here Jones reads Hamlet as mythology. First, repression results in complications that are meant to obfuscate the 'simple' triangular Oedipal formula of son-mother-father. As for the component that in the Oedipus complex manifests itself in the relationship between the son and the father, the role of the tyrannical father is instead assumed by the mother's father (who is caught in a father-daughter complex) and/or, as in Hamlet, by the father's brother (Claudius). The relationship between the son and the mother, on the other hand, disguises itself in what Jones calls brother-sister-complex. He calls these complexes secondary themes which mask the original underlying Oedipus complex. Second, those strategies are counteracted by Shakespeare's own regression, which prevented Hamlet (ergo, Shakespeare) from avenging the death of his father in a decisive manner, thus bringing to surface the psychological insights that Shakespeare was already coming up with. Interestingly, that fairly straightforward scheme is further complicated by two other forms of repression that may take place beside the subsidiary complexes, namely decomposition and doubling.Jones' analysis is neat.

He combines Freudian insights with the Jungian way of seeing basic psychoanalytical mechanisms in the greater scheme of things in myths and, as in his analysis of Hamlet, in works of fiction. Jones is acutely aware of the radical nature of his undertaking. Bottomline: Jones convinced me. I recommend the book.

Besides, it is a quick read. “Don't read all the preface and commentaries and don't listen to the lectures.
