Mohammed Masud Raza Khan (21 July 1924 – June 1989) was a Pakistani British psychoanalyst. His training analyst was Donald Winnicott. Masud Raza Khan was a protege of Sigmund Freud's daughter Anna and a long-time collaborator with the most famous child analyst of the 20th century, D. W. Winnicott. Indeed, Anna Freud insisted that Khan understood her father's work better than anyone else and spoke in defence of her star student whenever he aroused the Society's ire.
Khan was born in Jhelum in the Punjab district of British India, in what became Pakistan, to Raja Fazaldad Khan and his fourth wife, Khursheed Begum. He was a wealthy landowner, and she a beautiful. According to the family Kursheed Bagam was married to a "Peer Syed Jumla Shah" of village Kotayan Sherif Jhelum. She was married at a very young age and her husband died after few short years. Masud Raza Khan's mother had two children with Syed Jumala Shah and later she married Raja Fazaldad Khan.
His father Sirdar (or Sardar) Khan Bahadur, Raja Fazal Dad Khan, a Minhas Rajput, was a hereditary Landlord (or Zamindar) and was commissioned with a British Army cavalry unit. British government honoured him with vast lands where he later formed 3 estates. All of his states (Montgomery, Chakwal and Lyallpur) were later divided among his 9 sons.
Khan Bahdur Fazal Dad Khan married 4 times and had 9 sons of those, six joined the Army and became officers. Masud's eldest brother, Muhammed Akbar Khan was the first Indian Muslim to become a General in the British Indian Army and later most senior general of Pakistan Army. His brother, General Muhammad Anwar Khan was the first Engineer in Chief of the Pakistan Army and his brother Major General Muhammed Iftikhar Khan was an officer inherited by the Pakistan Army from British India. He had been nominated to become the first local Commander in Chief of the Pakistan Army after General Douglas David Gracey's retirement. However, his death in a tragic plane crash in 1949 was a disaster for the newly formed country.
