Heinz Kohut: The Making of a Psychoanalyst
This biography shows Heinz Kohut (1913-1981) as a paradigmatic figure in American intellectual life; a charismatic man whose ideas embodied the hopes and confusions of a country still in turmoil after war and Holocaust. Kohut stood at the center of the mid-twentieth-century psychoanalytic movement and then transformed it in the next two decades.
