Bruno Bettelheim
Bruno Bettelheim (August 28, 1903 – March 13, 1990) was an Austrian-born American child psychologist and writer. He gained an international reputation for his work on Freud, psychoanalysis, and emotionally disturbed children.
A survivor of the Dachau and Buchenwald concentration camps, Bettelheim emigrated to the United States in 1939. Though he studied art history at the University of Vienna, he spent his academic career in the US as a professor of psychology at the University of Chicago. He was the author of numerous works, including The Uses of Enchantment (1976), which applied Freudian psychology to fairy tales and won the National Book Critics Circle Award and the National Book Award.
