Jenny Aubry (8 October 1903 – 21 January 1987) was a French psychiatrist and psychoanalyst.
Life and career
Born in to the Parisian middle-class elite, and a sister of the famous suffragette Louise Weiss,[1] Aubry was among the first female doctors to qualify in France.[2] Having worked with the Resistance during the war, she discovered psychoanalysis through Anna Freud in 1948, and trained as a psychoanalyst under the supervision of Jacques Lacan,[3] with whom she developed a friendship and whom she followed through the various splits of the French psychoanalytic movement.
Aware too of the work of such figures as René Spitz and John Bowlby,[4] Aubry began to specialise in the treatment of institutionalised children, exploring the role of maternal deprivation in their symptomatology.[5] Her book Enfance Abandonée was published in 1953, and her collected papers in 2003.[6]
Family
Jenny Aubry was the mother of Élisabeth Roudinesco.[7]
