This biography provides a critical account of the life and work of
Susan Isaacs (1885-1948). This educationist, a pioneer of
child-centred education in Britain was also an early and
historically important child psychoanalyst. She is described in the
Oxford Dictionary of National Biography as the greatest influence
on British education in the twentieth century. Yet she is virtually
unknown in both educational and psychoanalytic circles. When
Melanie Klein was threatened with expulsion from the British
Psychoanalytic Society she was by far her most powerful advocate
and thus played a major role in determining the direction of
British psychoanalysis from the 1940s onwards. This book provides
an account of her life and contains much intimate material about
her childhood, her marriage and her work that was previously
unknown. It gives a fascinating insight into many facets of her
life and concludes with an appraisal of her impact on the worlds of
education and psychoanalysis.
