The Life of Gregory Zilboorg, 1890-1940: Psyche, Psychiatry, and
Psychoanalysis is the first volume of a meticulously researched
two-part biography of the Russian-American psychoanalyst Gregory
Zilboorg and chronicles the period from his birth as a Jew in
Tsarist Russia to his prominence as a New York psychoanalyst on the
eve of the Second World War. Educated in Kiev and Saint Petersburg,
Zilboorg served as a young physician during the First World War
and, after the revolution, as secretary to the minister of labour
in Kerensky's provisional government. Having escaped following
Lenin's takeover, Zilboorg requalified in medicine at Columbia
University and underwent analysis with Franz Alexander at the
Berlin Psychoanalytic Institute. His American patients ranged from
wealthy and artistic figures such as George Gershwin and Lillian
Hellman to prison inmates. His writing includes important histories
of psychiatry, for which he is still known, as well as examinations
of gender, suicide, and the relationship between psychiatry and the
law. His socialist politics and late work on Freud's
(mis)understanding of religious belief created a wide circle of
friends and acquaintances, from members of the Warburg banking
family to the Trappist monk Thomas Merton. Drawing on previously
unpublished sources, including family papers and archival material,
The Life of Gregory Zilboorg, 1890-1940: Psyche, Psychiatry, and
Psychoanalysis offers a dramatic narrative that will appeal to
general readers as well as scholars interested in the First World
War, the Russian revolution, the Jewish diaspora, and the history
of psychoanalysis.
The Life of Gregory Zilboorg, 1940-1959: Mind, Medicine, and Man is
the second volume of a meticulously researched two-part biography
of the Russian-American psychoanalyst Gregory Zilboorg and
chronicles the impact of the Second World War on his work and
thinking as well as his divorce, remarriage, and conversion to
Catholicism. With extensive references to Zilboorg's writing and
politics, this book demonstrates the significance of his
contributions to the fields of psychiatry and psychoanalysis in the
context of his tumultuous intellectual, personal, and spiritual
life. In his late work, he would argue, controversially, that there
was no incompatibility between psychoanalysis and religion.
Grounded in a wealth of primary source material and impressive
research, this book completes the compelling biography of a major
figure in psychoanalysis. It will be of interest to general readers
as well as scholars across a range of disciplines, particularly the
history of psychoanalysis and religion.
