His study is an attempt to look at Jesus as one of many gurus. He challenges Jesus' mental health by implying that there are psychological similarities between crazy "messiahs" such as Jim Jones, David Koresh, and respected religious leaders, including Jesus. In his final book Feet of Clay Saints, Sinners, and Madmen: The Power and Charisma of Gurus (1996) Storr tracks typical patterns, often involving psychotic disorders that shape the development of the guru. The difficulty of appreciating music from different periods of history or from different cultures is a powerful argument in favour of the view that the various types of music are predominantly cultural artefacts rather than based on natural phenomena.
Īlthough music is sometimes referred to as a universal language, this is an entirely misleading description. Like Oliver Sacks, he leads his reader effortlessly through a capacious synthesis of diverse material without resorting to unnecessary technical jargon. In his book Music and the mind Storr's fluidly logical exploration begins with an assessment of various theories on the origins of music. At the same time, he saw the possibility of creative use of these spontaneous drives and directing them towards sports, scientific and artistic feats ( The Dynamics of Creation, 1972). In his books, Storr explored the secrets of the dark sides of the human psyche – sexual deviations ( Sexual Deviation, 1964), aggression ( Human Aggression, 1968), and destructiveness ( Human Destructiveness, 1972). Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature (1990).Emeritus Fellow of Green College (1984).Storr was, as one of his obituarists observed, "no stranger to suffering at formative stages of his life." He married twice, to Catherine Cole (who became a children's writer under her married name) in 1942 and writer Catherine Peters in 1970 after the first marriage ended in divorce. In 1974, Storr moved from private practice to a teaching appointment at the Warneford Hospital in Oxford, until his retirement in 1984. He was in the first cohort of medics to train in Jungian analysis at the Society of Analytical Psychology in London. Born in London, Storr was educated at Winchester College, Christ's College, Cambridge, and Westminster Hospital.
