Le poids d'une vie is an autobiographical work by Bruno Bettelheim, in which the author reflects on his life, experiences, and memories. Originally published in French, this book offers an intimate view of the life and thought of one of the most influential psychoanalysts of the 20th century.
Bruno Bettelheim was an Austrian-born American psychologist, scholar, public intellectual and writer who spent most of his academic and clinical career in the United States. An early writer on autism, Bettelheim's work focused on the education of emotionally disturbed children, as well as Freudian psychology more generally. In the U.S., he later gained a position as professor at the University of Chicago and director of the Sonia Shankman Orthogenic School for Disturbed Children, and after 1973 taught at Stanford University.
