Who is Heinrich Racker?

Heinrich Racker was a Jewish Argentinean psychoanalyst of Polish-Austrian origin. Escaping Nazism, he fled to Buenos Aires in 1939. Already a doctor in musicology and philosophy, he became a psychoanalyst, first under the direction of Jeanne Lampi-de-Groot, and later working with Ángel Garma and Marie Langer in Argentina. His most important work is a study of the psychoanalytic technique known as transference and countertransference, which was published for the first time in 1968.

His brother, Efraim Racker, was a famous biochemist.
