About Eva Rosenfeld

  • Eva Marie Rosenfeld (5 January 1892 – 17 August 1977) was a Jewish-German-British psychoanalyst, an analysand of Sigmund Freud and Melanie Klein. Although born in New York City, Eva Rosenfeld spent her youth in Berlin where her father Theodor Rosenfeld was a theater producer, one of the members of the Freie Bühne theatre.
  • When Eva was 15 years old, her father died and she left school to begin her career as a social worker.
  • In 1911 she married her cousin, the lawyer Valentin Rosenfeld (1886–1970).
  • Valentin studied in Vienna and attended the lectures held by Freud.
  • Through her husband, Eva first became aware of psychoanalysis.
  • When they married, they settled in Vienna. Eva and Valentin Rosenfeld had four children, but three of them died in young age.
  • The loss of children — especially the 15-year-old daughter Rosemarie in 1927 — shadowed the later life of Eva Rosenfeld. After World War I Rosenfeld opened a school for girls.
  • Eva Rosenfeld and Anna Freud became close friends sometime in 1924 through Siegfried Bernfeld.
  • In 1927 Rosenfeld and Anna Freud founded (together with Dorothy Burlingham) a school in Vienna where most of the students underwent psychoanalysis, usually with Anna Freud. Eva Rosenfeld was a patient of Sigmund Freud from 1929 until 1931.
  • After her divorce she returned to Berlin in 1931 and assisted Ernst Simmel at a psychoanalytical sanatorium.
  • Her formal education as a psychoanalyst was completed in Berlin.
  • In 1936 she moved to England, where she worked the rest of her life as a psychotherapist and supervising analyst; her analysands include Benjamin B.
  • Rubinstein, Nina Coltart and Maria W.
  • Piers.
  • She was further analyzed by Melanie Klein in 1938–1941 and this damaged her relations with the Freud family.
