Biography
He was born in Philadelphia in 1875 as the son of Harry (Hyram) Coriat, a Sephardi Jew native of Marrakesh, in Morocco, who emigrated to the United States from France in 1867, and Clara née Einstein.[2] He was of Moroccan Jewish descent on father's side and German on mother's side. He grew up in Boston and attended Tufts Medical School, graduating in 1900.[3]
He was one of the founders of Boston Psychoanalytic Society, the first secretary in 1914 and president in years 1930-32. Coriat was the only Freudian analyst in Boston during the period after James Jackson Putnam's death.[4]
Coriat worked with the Rev. Elwood Worcester, served as the medical expert for the Emmanuel Movement and co-authored Religion and Medicine; The Moral Control of Nervous Disorders.
Coriat married Etta Dann in 1910. He died on May 26, 1943, after a brief illness.
