Online December 10th 6-7:30 pm, Freud Museum London
In this online event, hosted by the Freud Museum, we welcome Klara Naszkowska, editor of Early Women Psychoanalysts: History, Biography, and Contemporary Relevance to discuss her book with our FREEPSY member Ana Tomčić, who contributed to the publication. Join us for a discussion that will touch explore a range of female analysts that played a role in the early development of the field of psychoanalysis.
About the book:
Each life story is unique, yet each also entwines with other stories, sharing recurring themes linked to issues of gender, Jewishness, women’s education, politics, and migration.
The book’s first section discusses relatively known analysts such as Sabina Spielrein, Lou Andreas-Salomé, and Beata Rank, remembered largely as someone’s wife, lover, or muse; and the second part sheds light on women such as Margarethe Hilferding, Tatiana Rosenthal, and Erzsébet Farkas, who took strong political stances. In the third section, the biographies of lesser-known analysts like Ludwika Karpińska-Woyczyńska, Nic Waal, Barbara Low, and Vilma Kovács are discussed in the context of their importance for the early Freudian movement; and in the final section, the lives of Eugenia Sokolnicka, Sophie Morgenstern, Alberta Szalita, and Olga Wermer are examined in relation to migration and exile, trauma, loss, and memory.
