Dinora Pines was born in Lutsk (now in Poland) on 30th December 1918. Her family were Jewish and moved to London when Dinora was 18 months old having fled the Russian revolution. Her parents were both doctors and her father was restricted to working as a general practitioner rather than in his specialism of ophthalmology.

Dinora Pines graduated from the University of London in French and German before studying medicine at the Royal Free Hospital, where she met Hilda Abraham. She worked in general practice and as a consultant dermatologist at the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Hospital for Women. Hilda Abraham introduced her to psychoanalysis and she became interested in the psychosomatic aspects of skin disease.

She qualified as an Associate Member of the British Psychoanalytical Society in 1962 and became a full member in 1966. She became a training analyst and supervisor in 1977 and Chairman of the Admissions Committee in 1983. In the 1960s she worked with Moses and Egle Laufer on a research project on promiscuous girls in the London borough of Brent. She became well known in the psychoanalytic community for her work 'A Woman's Unconscious Use of her Body' and globally for her work on survivors of the Holocaust.

She married Anthony Lewison, a lawyer and later archaeologist in 1947. They had 2 sons.

Dinora Pines died on 26th February 2002.

Dr Basil Gregory was born in 1920 into a medical family. He practised as a consultant psychiatrist at Horton Hospital for much of his working life. In 1962 he began an analysis and training with Paula Heimann. In the same year the Paddington Day Hospital opened and he became its first Director. The Centre was one of the first units to provide psychoanalytic therapy. It ran on democratic lines with the patients participating in its running. He worked there until 1970.

Dr Gregory was married and had 4 children. He died in 1990.

Sylvia May Moore was born into a clergyman's family in Wimbledon, South London in 1880. She qualified from the London School of Medicine for Women (now the Royal Free Hospital) in 1906. In 1908 she married Jack Payne, a surgeon, with whom she had three sons. During the First World War she was Commandant and Medical Officer in charge of Torquay Red Cross Hospital which received wounded soldiers direct from the battle lines. She was awarded a CBE in 1918 for her services.

During the war she also became interested in psychoanalysis and began training with James Glover at the Brunswick Square Clinic in London. She later also underwent a short period of analysis with Hanns Sachs in Berlin, where she came to know Karl Abraham. Payne became an Associate Member of the British Psychoanalytical Society in 1922 and a Member in 1924. She played an increasingly important role in the practice, advocacy and administration of psychoanalysis. She played a key role in the Controversial Discussions, becoming President of the Society from 1944 to 1947 and again from 1954 to 1956. She was also a fellow of the British Psychological Society and chairman of its Medical Section. She was elected an honorary member of the BPAS in 1962. She died in 1976.

William Samuel Inman was born in Yorkshire in 1875. In 1900 he went to London to study at Moorfields Eye Hospital. He moved to Portsmouth in 1904 and three years later he was appointed Ophthalmic Surgeon at Portsmouth Eye and Ear Hospital, where he was based until his retirement in 1944. He was introduced to Freud's ideas on the unconscious by Dr Millais Culpin, with whom he worked during the First World War. His interest in psychoanalysis arose from his work on the causes of pathological problems in the eyes that might have emotional origins. His first paper, 'Emotions and Eye Symptoms' was published in 1921 and he first spoke before members of the British Psychoanalytical Society in 1922. He was analysed by Sandor Ferenczi and elected as an associate member of the Society in 1925. He became a full member by special resolution in 1951. He continued his psychosomatic research work into old age through his contact with out-patients in Portsmouth. The papers in this collection reflect his interests in the psychosomatic links between clinical observations, particularly of the eye, and their mental underpinnings. He died in September 1968.

Born in Berlin; died in London.

The Ernest Jones Rehabilitation Fund was established in 1938 by Ernest Jones to help psychoanalysts and their families to escape Austria following the Nazi invasion and to establish new lives elsewhere. The fund, originally called 'The Austrian Fund', was initially run by Ernest Jones and his secretary Miss Taylor, but Eva Rosenfeld was soon appointed honorary secretary and administered its affairs until 1965.

Following the war, the fund was renamed the Ernest Jones Rehabilitation Fund and previous recipients of grants from the fund were asked to repay the money they had received in order to send financial assistance to psychoanalytic colleagues living in communist regimes in Eastern Europe. The fund also provided occasional books and journal subscriptions and financial assistance to allow psychoanalysts to attend Congresses of the International Psychoanalytical Association. A further appeal began in late 1954 to raise funds from analysts in the UK, USA and other countries in order to send care packages to colleagues in Hungary.

The fund was later divided into two organisations, with the Psychoanalytic Assistance Fund Inc established in the USA in 1957 to manage larger sums of money. From 1965, it appears that the work of the Ernest Jones Rehabilitation Fund was largely discontinued.

Claud Dangar Daly was born on 25 Feb 1884 into a military family in New Zealand where his parents had emigrated. When his parents separated in 1899 he was sent to school in Newport. At the age of fifteen he volunteered for the South African war by exaggerating his age. Apart from a brief period on his return to England in 1902 when he took up nursery gardening, Daly continued to serve in the military for most of his life, seeing action in India and, during the First World War, in France. In 1916 he suffered a nervous breakdown and returned to London where he underwent a brief analysis with Ernest Jones. He is best known for his meticulous self-analysis of his dreams and his interest in Hindu mythology and symbolism, which are reflected in this collection. He began to publish articles on these subjects in 1921. In 1920 he visited Vienna and was analysed by Freud and then Ferenczi from 1925. In 1936 he retired from the Army and returned to Vienna to work further with Freud. He also took his first patients there. He left Austria in 1938 and was an air raid warden in London during the Second World War. He was married twice, to Gertrude Hogan in 1917 (d. 1934) and Elenore Graefin Vetter von der Lilie in 1947. He died of a heart attack on 4 Sep 1950.

Edward Glover was born on 13 Jan 1888 in Lesmahagow, Scotland. He began his medical career specialising in tubercular medicine, before his older brother James introduced him to psychoanalysis. Both brothers went to Berlin in 1920 to be analysed by Karl Abraham; Edward Glover became an associate member of the British Psychoanalytical Society in 1921 and a full member in 1922. When his brother died in 1926, Edward Glover took over many of his roles within the Society and by 1940 he was a member of all the main committees of the Society and the Institute of Psychoanalysis. Originally a supporter of Melanie Klein, he became one of her opponents during the Society's Controversial Discussions in the 1940s and subsequently resigned from the Society in 1944. Following this, he was granted honorary membership of the American and Swiss psychoanalytic societies. He died on 16 Aug 1972.
