Author(s) : Judit Szekacs-Weisz

About the Author(s)

Judit Szekacs-Weisz is a bilingual psychoanalyst and psychotherapist. Born and educated (mostly) in Budapest, Hungary, she has taken in the way of thinking and ideas of Ferenczi, the Balints, Hermann, and Rajka as an integral part of a “professional mother tongue”. She is a founding member of the Sandor Ferenczi Society, Budapest. The experience of living and working in a totalitarian regime and the transformatory years leading to the fall of the Berlin Wall sensitised her to the social and individual aspects of trauma, identity formation, and strategies of survival. In 1990, she moved to London, where, with a small group of psychoanalysts, therapists, artists, and social scientists, she founded Imago East West and later the Multilingual Psychotherapy Centre (MLPC) to create a space where diverse experiences of living and the changing context and language in different cultures can be explored and creative solutions found. She writes about body-and-mind, trauma, emigration, changing context, and social dreaming.
