Biography
Gertraud Diem-Wille is a training analyst for children, adolescents and adults at the Viennese Psychoanalytic Society (WPV) and the International Psychoanalytic Society (IPA). She has pioneered and supported the training in psychoanalytic observational approaches to training in psychoanalytic and educational fields in Austria. She is the Organising and Scientific Tutor of the Course "Psychoanalytic-orientated Parent-Infant- Psychotherapy" at the Viennese Psychoanalytic Academy of the WPV. She also works in a private practice. She is author of the books The Early Years of Life and Young Children and Their Parents.
"This is an exceedingly wise book. It covers a seriously neglected area in psychoanalytic literature and theory. The clinical and historical illustrations, both of healthy thriving intelligent childhood and - equally- of painful failures in development and in thinking, make it a very illuminating and good read."-Anne Alvarez, Ph.D., MACP Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist
