Heinz Kohut, MD, was an American psychoanalyst who departed from the traditional Freudian psychoanalytic focus on internal drives in favor of an emphasis on relationship. Teaching and studying at the Chicago Institute for Psychoanalysis and his leadership in the neo-analytic movement in the U.S. and abroad, along with his 1971 “The Analysis of the Self” and subsequent writings, established him as the founder of the applied discipline of Self Psychology and the therapeutic modality of Object Relations Therapy. His lasting impact is reflected in the study of empathy, personality disorder and the influence of early relationships on the development of self and interpersonal ties.
