  • Adrian Stephen (1883-1948) was a member of the Bloomsbury Group, an author and psychoanalyst, and the brother of Virginia Woolf and Vanessa Bell. He and his wife became interested in the work of Sigmund Freud, and were among the first British psychoanalysts. With Stephen the youngest of four children, their father's death in 1904 resulted in the four siblings moving to Bloomsbury, and their house there became the nucleus of the Bloomsbury group. In 1914 he married Karin Costelloe, a philosophy graduate and expert on Bergson. At the outbreak of World War I both Stephen and Costelloe became conscientious objectors, like Lytton Strachey and Leonard Woolf, and lived out the war working on a farm in Essex. Following the war they became interested in psychoanalysis, training medically at the request of Ernest Jones and later with James Glover, and becoming qualified in the late 1920s. In 1936, Stephen decided to recount in detail the Dreadnought Hoax which he had taken part in a quarter of a century earlier, completing an account published by Hogarth press. With the onset of World War II, Stephen became so angered by the Nazis' brutality and anti-semitism that he abandoned his pacifist stance of the previous war and volunteered to become an army doctor and army officer in 1942, shortly after his sister Virginia's suicide, then joining up at the age of 60. He died in 1948.
  • Écrivain et psychanalyste, frère de Virginia Woolf, de Vanessa Bell et de Thoby Stephen, tous plus âgés que lui, Adrian Stephen (1883-1948) fut membre du Bloomsbury Group. Lui et son épouse s'intéressaient aux travaux de Sigmund Freud, et ils ont été parmi les premiers psychanalystes britanniques. Après le décès de leur père, Sir Leslie Stephen, en 1904, tous les quatre s'installèrent à Bloomsbury, où leur maison du 46, Gordon Square devint le noyau du Bloomsbury Group. En 1914, il épousa Karin Costelloe, diplômée en philosophie et experte sur Bergson. Quand éclata la Première Guerre mondiale tous les deux se firent objecteurs de conscience, comme Lytton Strachey et Leonard Woolf, et ils passèrent la guerre à travailler dans une ferme de l'Essex. Après la guerre, ils s'intéressèrent à la psychanalyse et reçurent une formation médicale à la demande d'Ernest Jones et, plus tard, avec James Glover, et ils obtinrent leur diplôme à la fin des années 1920. En 1936, Stephen décida de raconter en détail le canular du Dreadnought, auquel il avait pris part un quart de siècle plus tôt, et en fit un récit publié par la Hogarth Press. Au début de la Deuxième Guerre mondiale, la brutalité et l'antisémitisme des nazis exaspérèrent Stephen au point qu'il abandonna son attitude pacifiste de la guerre précédente et se porta volontaire comme médecin militaire et officier en 1942, peu après le suicide de sa sœur Virginie, s'enrôlant à l'âge de 60 ans. Il mourut en 1948.
