Psychoanalysis in Austria – in the shadow of the Shoah

Based on the fact that the Shoah caused a dramatic break in the theoretical, clinical and institutional development of psychoanalysis in Austria, the aim is to work out how this break still affects the psychoanalytic discourse in Austria today and to what extent it is (not) remembered in psychoanalytic institutions.

On the one hand, the forced flight of Jewish psychoanalysts in the 1930s and its consequences will be analysed, and on the other hand, the psychoanalysis of the post-war period up to its current situation in Austria will be examined with regard to this question. The project described here aims to make a contribution to remembrance work in one subject area.
