Paul Hermann Ornstein (April 4, 1924 - January 19, 2017) was a Hungarian psychoanalyst and Holocaust survivor.
Early life
Ornstein was born in Hungary in a Jewish family to parents, Abraham Ornstein, an accountant, and Frieda Sziment. As a young teenager, he was forced by the German Army to dig trenches as part of a forced labor battalion in World War II. After the Red Army pushed west, he spent several months during 1944 hiding in the basement of the annex of the Swiss Embassy in Budapest. When the war ended, he returned to his home town in Hungary; he was just 17, and found no surviving relatives.[1][2]
Education
After discovering that his father and a distant cousin, Anna Brunn, had also survived the Holocaust, Ornstein and Brunn enrolled in medical school together in Germany at the Heidelberg University School of Medicine, where there were many former Nazi soldiers among their classmates.
Immigration to the U.S.
Ornstein married Brunn in 1946 and together they immigrated to the United States. However, only five states would allow them to take medical board exams which would certify them as American doctors, merely because of their immigrant status. Eventually, the two moved to Ohio.[3]
Career
Both Paul and Anna Ornstein were active in the self psychology movement, which challenged traditional Freudian analysis.[1]
Ornstein worked as a Professor of Psychiatry and Psychoanalysis at the University of Cincinnati Medical School and was a Supervising Analyst at the Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute.[4]
He wrote Focal Psychotherapy: An Example of Applied Psychoanalysis with Michael Balint and Enid Balint and also edited The Search for the Self: Selected Writings of Heinz Kohut.[4] In 2015, he published a memoir, Looking Back: Memoir of a Psychoanalyst, which Helen Epstein co-authored.[5][6]
Family
Before his passing, Paul and Anna were married for 71 years. Although her deportation to Auschwitz separated them during the war, they found their way back to one another.[3]
Paul and Anna raised three children, Sharone, Rafael, and Miriam, all of whom became psychiatrists.[1]
