Bruno Bettelheim

Bruno Bettelheim (August 28, 1903 - March 13, 1990) was a Jewish-American writer and child psychologist. Upon his father's death, he was forced to leave university in order to care of his family lumber business. After ten years, however, he returned to his education, earning a degree in philosophy, and authoring a dissertation on the history of art. Although interested in psychology for much of his life, Bettelheim never studied it formally.

As a Jew in Austria, he was interned in Dachau and Buchenwald concentration camps from 1938 to 1939. His release from internment was purchased, as remained possible prior to the commencement of hostilities in World War II. Bettelheim arrived in the United States in 1939, becoming a naturalized citizen in 1944. Here, he eventually became a professor of psychology, teaching at the University of Chicago from 1944 until his retirement in 1973. He was trained in philosophy (Ph.D. in esthetics), and was analyzed by the Viennese psychoanalyst Richard Sterba.
