After fleeing his native Vienna  when the Nazis took power, he arrived in Chicago, where he spent the rest of his  life. He became the most creative figure in the Chicago Institute for Psychoanalysis,  and is now remembered as the founder of 'self psychology,' whose emphasis on empathy  sought to make Freudian psychoanalysis less neutral. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Kohut's life invited complexity.  He obfuscated his identity as a Jew, negotiated a protean sexuality, and could be  surprisingly secretive about his health and other matters. In this biography, Charles  Strozier shows Kohut as a paradigmatic figure in American intellectual life: a charismatic  man whose ideas embodied the hope and confusions of a country still in turmoil. Inherent  in his life and formulated in his work were the core issues of modern America.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The  years after World War II were the halcyon days of American psychoanalysis, which  thrived as one analyst after another expanded upon Freud's insights. The gradual  erosion of the discipline's humanism, however, began to trouble clinicians and patients  alike. Heinz Kohut took the lead in the creation of the first authentically home-grown  psychoanalytic movement. It took an emigre be so distinctly American. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Strozier  brings to his telling of Kohut's life all the tools of a skillful analyst: intelligence,  erudition, empathy, contrary insight, and a willingness to look far below the surface.","brand":"Other Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44216516411647,"sku":"9781590511022","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781590511022_s600x595.jpg?v=1775593663","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781590511022","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
