Synopsis
Professor Robert Winston explores the relationship between the music and the medical conditions of composers who suffered mental and physical illness.
Robert investigates Gustav Mahler, and the crisis in his marriage that drove him to consult Sigmund Freud in the final year of his life. Psychotherapist Dr Emanuel Garcia tells Robert that the meeting with Freud, while curing Mahler of his impotence, robbed him of his creativity.
