He became a leading critic of <a href="/people/736/000029649/">Sigmund Freud</a>'s theories, and developed his own theories of behavioral genetics, intelligence, and personality. He also studied the health risks of smoking, and the effects of behavior therapy on cancer and heart disease. His <i>Race, Intelligence and Education</i> was widely criticized for linking intelligence and race, but at the time of his death he was among the world's most well-known and respected psychologists.<p><b>Father:</b> Eduard Anton Eysenck (stage actor, b. 1889, d. 1972)<br><b>Mother:</b> Ruth Werner Eysenck ("Helga Molander", silent film actress, b. 1896, d. 1986)<br><b>Father:</b> Max Glass (stepfather, film producer, b. 1881, m.
