A Collaboration with the Freud Museum Vienna and the Erikson Institute of the Austen Riggs Center

Refugees and Immigrants: Their Experience and Contribution to Psychoanalysis in North America - Virtual Roundtable #1 (Recording)

The opening roundtable examined the experiences two prominent psychoanalysts, Otto Kernberg and Heinz Kohut who were forced to emigrate from Vienna as the Holocaust approached. Dr. Kernberg spoke about his life and career considering his emigration experience, and Tom Kohut, PhD, spoke about how the emigration experience of his father Heinz Kohut influenced his personal and professional life and work. How both men have shaped American psychoanalysis was examined. This discussion was moderated by Nancy McWilliams, PhD.

Refugees and Immigrants: Their Experience and Contribution to Psychoanalysis in North America - Virtual Roundtable #2 (Recording)

The second roundtable examined the experience of emigrant analysts in the United States and the history of forced migration of psychoanalysts from Europe. 

Refugees and Immigrants: Their Experience and Contribution to Psychoanalysis in North America - Virtual Roundtable #3 (Recording)

In this third roundtable, panelists discussed what was lost when entire institutes were destroyed through emigration, war, and genocide. While some institutes like the Vienna Psychoanalytic Society were re-established, the roundtable looked at the ways the individuals, their families, organizations, and the field grappled with loss and death in the post-war period.
