Roger Money-Kyrle (1898–1980) was a British psychoanalyst renowned for his wide-ranging intellect, and interested in the ways an individual psyche relates to the wider sphere of human society.

At the end of the war, he resumed his studies at Trinity College, Cambridge, pursuing a bachelor's degree in physics and mathematics, then shifting his attention to philosophy.

He married Helen Juliet Rachel "Minora" Fox, an anthropologist he met in Cambridge during their studies, and they had four children.

While visiting Germany prior to Adolf Hitler's appointment as chancellor, Money-Kyrle attended multiple campaign rallies and became intrigued by how political speech used by such authoritarian movements morphs into manipulation and propaganda where political illusions (Freudian sense) replace rational policy solutions.

The people seemed gradually to lose their individuality and to become fused into a not very intelligent but immensely powerful monster [that was] under the complete control of the figure on the rostrum [who] evoked or changed its passions as easily as if they had been notes of some gigantic organ.The three notes described in his article "The Psychology of Propaganda" is a progression that was repeated at each rally.

But the note was changed once more; and this time we heard for ten minutes about the growth of the Nazi party, and how from small beginnings it had now become an overpowering force.

Upon his return to London, he carried on activities as a psychoanalyst and essayist, contributing to the Kleinian theoretical development and to the cultural and social application of phenomena generally linked to philosophy and sociology.

For the self-analytic function operates in an omnipotent way, as it gives rise to the "megalomanic delusion of parthenogenic creativity"; rather, all one can do "is to allow your internal parents to come together and they will beget and conceive the child.
