Contemporary Psychoanalysis and the Legacy of the Third Reich
Book • 2013
Emily Kuriloff's work examines how the traumatic history of the Third Reich influenced the trajectories of psychoanalytic institutions and practitioners in the postwar era.
Through archival research and interviews, she documents the experiences of refugee analysts and the institutional choices they made in exile.
The book addresses how these histories impacted theoretical orientations, professionalization, and silences around collective trauma.
Kuriloff situates psychoanalysis within broader sociopolitical forces that shaped its reception and adaptation in different national contexts.
Her analysis helps explain enduring institutional dynamics and debates within contemporary psychoanalytic practice.
