Detailed biography by prominent Freud authority.
A Polish MD psychiatrist successful practicing analyst before becoming Freud's favorite student.
President of analytical societies in Vienna and Boston, missing Hitler.
Mistress from 14 to prominent Polish socialist, much later married long-term to MD analyst.
Controversial for being an early authority on feminine psychology and femininist
but reviled by modern feminists for unwillingness to repudiate Freud himself.
Early prominence before academic structures in place, sceptical of her profession.
Unable to prevent her only child from repeating, towards her, the hatred she had for her own mother.
History of analysis movement personalities, depressing actually.
