For a book on child psychoanalyst
Edith
Buxbaum, Ph.D. (1902 - 1982), I am interested
in recollections, correspondence, photographs and
ephemera. Dr.
Buxbaum was born in Vienna, participated in Anna
Freud's Pedagogic Seminar on Child Analysis, escaped Europe for
NY in 1937, practiced psychoanalysis in NY city from 1937-1946
and moved to Seattle, WA. in 1947.
She practiced psychoanalysis in Seattle for more than three
decades and was instrumental in building Seattle's
psychoanalytic community. She was the author of Your Child Makes
Sense (1949) and Troubled Children in A Troubled World (1970).
She was first cousin to psychologist, Bruno Bettelheim, and the
wife of lawyer/social worker Fritz Schmidl. I would appreciate
any information that you may have.
