Thank you!

This presentation will introduce you to the stories of women who helped shape the foundations of psychoanalysis in Europe before World War II (and beyond). Biographical portraits of several remarkable pioneers will be examined against the tumultuous sociopolitical and economic landscape of the early 20th century. The presentation will discuss how these pioneers navigated the intersections of gender, Jewish identity, women’s education, professional careers in male-dominated spaces, rising autocracies, and forced migration, while revealing how they were systematically erased from the historical narrative. Finally, it will discuss their groundbreaking contributions to psychoanalytic theory and practice.
