About the author
Ruth S. Eissler
69 booksRuth S. Eissler (also known as Ruth Eissler-Selke) was a physician and psychoanalyst. She was born in Odessa, Ukraine on 21 February 1906 and died in New York, USA on 7 October 1989.
Eissler was born into a Jewish family. After moving several times during her childhood (including attending schools in Odessa, Hamburg, and Danzig), Eissler completed her studies at the age of 19 in 1925 in Freiburg-im-Briesgau. She then went on to study medicine at the University of Freiburg (graduating in 1930), before specialising in psychiatry. Following her graduation she practiced in Heidelberg and Stuttgart. Her dissertation, which she defended at the University of Heidelberg in 1932, was entitled Medical Histories of Six Cases: The Contribution of Social Hygiene to the Question of Alcoholism and Tuberculosis.
Following Hitler's ascent to power, Eissler went into exile in Vienna where she worked at the psychiatric hospital in Rosenhügel. In the December of 1933, she requested admission to the training institute of the Vienna Psychoanalytic Society and began work with Theodor Reik. After Reik emigrated to the Netherlands, she continued her work with Richard Sterba. In 1937 Eissler was accepted as a member of the Vienna Psychoanalytic Society. Whilst living in Vienna she met fellow doctor Kurt R. Eissler, anf they were married there in 1936.
On 12 March 1938, Hitler's German forces moved into Austria, and Kurt and Ruth Eissler managed to emigrate to the United States where they settled in Chicago. Eissler became a member and training analyst of the Chicago Psychoanalytic Society and she worked as a child psychiatrist at the Michael Reese Hospital.
During the Second World War Eissler was a consulting physician in a Chicago institution for what were described as "young delinquent women". Following the War, she and her husband moved to New York in 1948, where she became a member of the New York Psychoanalytic Society. From 1950 to 1958 Eissler was one of the editors of The Psychoanalytic Study of the Child, an annual publication founded in 1945 by Anna Freud, Heinz Hartmann, and Ernst Kris.
Aside from her teaching and academic publications, Eissler wrote poetry, an unpublished novel, and several short stories. In 1976 a collection of her poems in German was published in New York in celebration of her seventieth birthday
