Produktbeschreibungen
From Publishers Weekly
Developments in psychoanalysis are, appropriately, often the products of half-discovered impulses and longings, so it's fitting that Kohut's The Analysis of the Self, which essentially invented and delineated relational psychoanalysis, was the product of many conflicting influences. This new, definitive biography not only records Kohut's illustrious career, but gives fresh insights and reflections upon his work. Born into a well-to-do Jewish family in Vienna in 1913, Kohut grew up with an intrusive mother, had an affair with his male tutor when he was 12, structured his sexual life around masochistic fantasies and studied to be a physician until he fled Austria in 1939 and moved to the U.S. Here, he became well known as a psychiatrist, and then as a psychoanalyst, reaching full bloom in 1971 with the publication of The Analysis of the Self. Strozier (Apocalypse: On the Psychology of Fundamentalism in America) has produced a sympathetic narrative of Kohut's life and work, but avoids the pitfalls of hagiography. He addresses Kohut's sexual ambivalence (including a close, lifelong friendship with conductor Robert Wadsworth) and his tormented relationship with his Jewishness, which ran so deep that Kohut was known to cause scenes in kosher restaurants by insisting on being served a ham sandwich and a glass of milk. Strozier navigates this complicated material with skill and sensitivity, never reducing his complex subject to a case study, in a work that will appeal to a small but dedicated audience.

From Booklist
Heinz Kohut was a psychoanalyst who changed the field into its modern form as we understand it today. Born into a middle-class Jewish family in Vienna in the early part of the last century, Kohut quickly showed promise as a gifted intellectual. He finished his university studies during the Anschluss and was barely allowed to take his final exams (being a Jew) that qualified him to be an M.D. He fled to the U.S. in 1939, and in the years after World War II he changed the face of psychoanalysis. While working with the Chicago Institute for Psychoanalysis, he rose to prominence and eventually became the most prestigious analyst in the country, serving as president of the American Psychoanalytic Association. He recognized the limits of classical psychoanalysis and sought to put a more humanistic face on it. He struggled with this until his death in 1981. He could be stubborn and private and he could confound his closest friends, but the legacy he left with the field of psychoanalysis in the U.S. is legendary. Michael Spinella
