Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson is a writer who lives with his family in New Zealand. He has been a professor at several universities in Canada and America. After serving as Projects Director of the Sigmund Freud Archives, he wrote a series of books critical of psychiatry and therapy.
In the 1990s he turned his attention to animals, and in particular, their emotional lives. His book When Elephants Weep became an international best seller, as was Dogs Never Lie About Love. Since those two books he has published 6 more books about animals.
"When animals are no longer colonized and appropriated by us, we can reach out to our evolutionary cousins.
Perhaps then the ancient hope for a deeper emotional connection across the species barrier, for closeness and
participation in a realm of feelings now beyond our imagination, will be realized."
Jeffrey Masson
From: When Elephants Weep
Although he lives in New Zealand, Jeff is available for guest lectures in the United States, Canada, and Europe.
He most frequently lectures on the question of animal emotions, but is happy to speak about anything to do with animals as long as the slant is animal rights.
