Biography

Born in New York from parents of middle European Ashkenazi descent she was educated at Columbia University. She won a Fulbright scholarship to study medicine in Paris. There she studied psychoanalysis under the direct tuition of Jacques Lacan and went on to work with many French exponents of his discipline, including Françoise Dolto, Maud Mannoni, Moustapha Safouan. She was one of the founders of École Freudienne de Paris.[2]
