Having escaped following Lenin's takeover, Zilboorg requalified in medicine at Columbia University and underwent analysis with Franz Alexander at the Berlin Psychoanalytic Institute. His American patients ranged from wealthy and artistic figures such as George Gershwin and Lillian Hellman to prison inmates. His writing includes important histories of psychiatry, for which he is still known, as well as examinations of gender, suicide, and the relationship between psychiatry and the law. His socialist politics and late work on Freud's (mis)understanding of religious belief created a wide circle of friends and acquaintances, from members of the Warburg banking family to the Trappist monk Thomas Merton.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDrawing on previously unpublished sources, including family papers and archival material, \u003ci\u003eThe Life of Gregory Zilboorg, 1890-1940: Psyche, Psychiatry, and Psychoanalysis\u003c\/i\u003e offers a dramatic narrative that will appeal to general readers as well as scholars interested in the First World War, the Russian revolution, the Jewish diaspora, and the history of psychoanalysis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Caroline Zilboorg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032042079\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032042077\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/17\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 284\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.96lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.65d","brand":"Caroline Zilboorg","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43986622447871,"sku":"9781032042077","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3829606e-4275-494e-a57b-2d38f3e76baa.jpg?v=1683284450","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-the-life-of-gregory-caroline-zilboorg-9781032042077","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
