1940s was a time of great change in the psychoanalytic world. The
War sounded a deathblow to continental European psychoanalysis,
with only two small societies remaining in Switzerland and Sweden;
while Britain and the United States had to adapt to the influx of
psychoanalytic refugees. The death of Freud at first brought
uncertainty over the future of psychoanalysis but ultimately led to
greater creative freedom in exploring new ideas and theories. These
years marked the birth of post-Freudian issues. There was a
reflective attitude towards psychoanalysis itself, caused by
Freud's death and the diaspora of analysts. There were new debates
on the relations between psychoanalysis and subjects such as
philosophy and biology. There was a good deal of freedom to review
metapsychology and ideas such as the development of group therapy,
now established, were starting to take root.A new generation of
analysts began to emerge at this time, those who would become
highly significant in the development of British psychoanalysis and
the object-relations school in later years, including Ronald
Fairbairn, Donald Winnicott, John Bowlby and Michael Balint.
Winnicott and Bowlby were both essentially empirical and their work
in these years were laying the basis for the renowned independent
(or middle) group of psychoanalysts in the British Psychoanalytical
Society. The 1940s marked an abundance of new ideas and new
individuals that would grow to leave their mark on the subsequent
decades.
