Wilfred Trotter, a famous surgeon of University College Hospital, London, wrote similarly in his famous book Instincts of the Herd in Peace and War, just before the beginning of World War I ; he has been referred to as ' Le Bon's popularizer in English.
' Trotter also introduced Wilfred Bion, who worked for him at the hospital, to Sigmund Freud's work Massenpsychologie und Ich-Analyse ( 1921 ; English translation Group Psychology and the Analysis of the Ego, 1922 ), which was based quite explicitly on a critique of Le Bon's work.
Ultimately both Bion and Ernest Jones became interested in what would later be called group psychology.
Both of these men became associated with Freud when he fled Austria soon after the Anschluss.
Both men were closely associated with the Tavistock Institute as important researchers in the field of group dynamics.
