John Carl Flügel
John Carl Flügel (1884–1955) was a British psychologist and psychoanalyst, born in Liverpool to a German merchant father.
Privately educated due to a congenital foot defect, he studied at Oxford and Würzburg before joining University College London, where he remained until his death.
A rare figure who bridged academic psychology and psychoanalysis, he co-founded both the London and British Psycho-Analytical Societies.
His wide-ranging work included studies on family psychology, morality, population, and the history of psychology, reflecting his cosmopolitan background and internationalist outlook.
