Marjorie Brierley

Marjorie Flowers Brierley (24 March 1893 - 21 April 1984) was a pioneer of psychoanalysis in Britain, and helped chair the Controversial discussions of 1942 which shaped the subsequent history of the British Psycho-Analytical Society.[1]

Training and contributions

Brierley went through a double training analysis of four years from 1927 onwards, becoming a training analyst herself in 1933.[2]

Significant among the eleven papers Brierley published between 1932 and 1947,[3] were her contributions on female gender and early development, and on the nature of the affect.[4] Her proposal of a "temporary armistice" in the heated debates of the wartime Society was significant in paving the way for their ultimate resolution.[5]
