Elisabeth Young-Bruehl is a faculty member at the Columbia Center for Psychoanalytic Training and Research and a practicing psychoanalyst in Manhattan. She lives in New York and Toronto.
“Young-Bruehl’s description of one of the most complex but
brilliant lights in psychoanalytic history has stood as a beacon to
students of psychoanalytic history. It is the best most
carefully crafted biography of any psychoanalyst and it illuminates
the entire tradition with a clarity that only the exploration of
the life of the daughter of the founder of the movement could
possibly provide. It is a beautifully written insightful and
remarkably edifying piece of work. The best has just got
better.”—Peter Fonagy, Freud Memorial Professor of Psychoanalysis,
University College London
