Psychologist given November in prison (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

jung

'psychologist' is the definition.
(Carl Jung)

'november in prison' is the wordplay.
'november' becomes 'N' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'prison' becomes 'jug' (slang term).
'n' placed inside 'jug' is 'JUNG'.

'given' is the link.

(Other definitions for jung that I've seen before include "Swiss psychoanalyst" , "Freud's collaborator" , "Carl ---, fell out with Freud" , "Swiss psychologist, 1875-1961" , "Swiss psychologist, Carl" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
