On Display
Mothers of Psychoanalysis (Rare Book Room Window Display, Lower Floor)
In the early 20th century, women were typically restricted to a handful of professions. However, they were included in Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic movement. They earned degrees, conducted research, joined professional societies, and published books. Their life experiences helped make psychoanalysis more inclusive. This exhibit highlights the contributions of these early women: Helene Deutsch, Karen Horney, Anna Freud, Melanie Klein, Hermine Hug-Hellmuth, Marie Bonaparte, and Beatrice Moses Hinkle.

It’s finally spring and the plants are growing again.
