| + | Young-Bruehl’s family on her mother's side ran a dairy farm on land near the head of Chesapeake Bay, and were active in local Maryland politics. Her mother's father and grandfather (a newspaper editor) had been amateur scholars with a large private library. Her maternal grandmother was a ''Mayflower'' descendant, part of the Hooker and Bulkley families of Connecticut. Her father's family were Virginians, several trained in [[Theology]] at William and Mary College in Williamsburg, Virginia where the family home, the ''Maupin-Dixon House'', is located. She grew up in Maryland and Delaware, where her father worked as a teaching golf pro. |
||
| + | Then she attended Sarah Lawrence College, where she studied poetry writing with Muriel Rukeyser. Young-Bruehl left college for the New York City [[counterculture]] of the mid-1960s, but then completed her undergraduate studies at [[The New School]] (then the "New School for Social Research"). There she met and married Robert Bruehl<ref name=Cherish>[http://web.archive.org/web/20050206095135/http://www.cherishment.com/authors.html Elisabeth Young-Bruehl || Faith Bethelard || Ying Li], see references.</ref>, whom she later divorced. Just as the [[political theorist]] [[Hannah Arendt]] was joining the Graduate Faculty of the New School, Young-Bruehl enrolled as a Ph.D candidate in Philosophy. Arendt became Young-Bruehl's mentor and dissertation advisor. After earning her Ph.D. in 1974, Young-Bruehl took a faculty appointment teaching Philosophy in the College of Letters, [[Wesleyan University]] in Connecticut.<ref name=Cherish/> |

The resulting book, published in 1982, is still the standard work on Hannah Arendt's life.

Elisabeth Young-Bruehl (March 3, 1946 – December 1, 2011), born Elisabeth Bulkley Young, was an American academic and psychotherapist, who from 2007 until her death had resided in Toronto, Canada.[1] She published a wide range of books, most notably biographies of Hannah Arendt and Anna Freud.[1] Her 1982 biography of Hannah Arendt won the first Harcourt Award while The Anatomy of Prejudices won the Association of American Publishers' prize for Best Book in Psychology in 1996.[2] She was a member of the Toronto Psychoanalytic Society and co-founder of Caversham Productions, a company that makes psychoanalytic educational materials.

Life
Young-Bruehl’s family on her mother's side ran a dairy farm on land near the head of Chesapeake Bay, and were active in local Maryland politics. Her mother's father and grandfather (a newspaper editor) had been amateur scholars with a large private library. Her maternal grandmother was a Mayflower descendant, part of the Hooker and Bulkley families of Connecticut. Her father's family were Virginians, several trained in Theology at William and Mary College in Williamsburg, Virginia where the family home, the Maupin-Dixon House, is located. She grew up in Maryland and Delaware, where her father worked as a teaching golf pro.
Then she attended Sarah Lawrence College, where she studied poetry writing with Muriel Rukeyser. Young-Bruehl left college for the New York City counterculture of the mid-1960s, but then completed her undergraduate studies at The New School (then the "New School for Social Research"). There she met and married Robert Bruehl[4], whom she later divorced. Just as the political theorist Hannah Arendt was joining the Graduate Faculty of the New School, Young-Bruehl enrolled as a Ph.D candidate in Philosophy. Arendt became Young-Bruehl's mentor and dissertation advisor. After earning her Ph.D. in 1974, Young-Bruehl took a faculty appointment teaching Philosophy in the College of Letters, Wesleyan University in Connecticut.[4]
The next year, after Hannah Arendt died at 69, several of Arendt's émigré friends approached Young-Bruehl to take on the task of writing Arendt's biography. The resulting book, published in 1982, is still the standard work on Hannah Arendt's life. It has been translated into many languages,[4] including recently (2010) Hebrew, and a second English edition came out in 2004.[5]
Young-Bruehl's work on the Arendt biography gave her an increasingly strong interest in psychoanalysis. In 1983, she enrolled for clinical psychoanalytic training in New Haven, Connecticut. At New Haven's Child Study Center, she met several of Anna Freud's American colleagues, and was invited to become Anna Freud's biographer, leading to the 1988 book "Anna Freud: A Biography".[4] This had a second edition in 2008, with a new Preface.

She started a private practice as a therapist, first in Philadelphia and later in New York City.[4] Throughout this time, she continued to publish books, including collections of her essays and the award-winning "The Anatomy of Prejudices".[6] The book on prejudices will be followed by one entitled "Childism: Understanding and Preventing Prejudice Against Children", published posthumously from Yale University Press in 2011.
Young-Bruehl died of a pulmonary embolism on December 1, 2011.[7][8] She was 65.
