Heinz Kohut: The Making of a Psychoanalyst

Kohut (1913-1981) stood at the center of the 20th-century psychoanalytic movement. After fleeing his native Vienna when the Nazis took power, he became the most creative figure in the Chicago Institute for Psychoanalysis, and is now remembered as the founder of "self psychology."
