História biográfica
Nancy Born is the pseudonym adopted by the writer of these diaries, which begin with a summary of events in her life leading up to her analysis with D W Winnicott.
She obtained a BA honours degree at Oxford University and taught for two years in a girls' boarding school near London. She then lived in Budapest for ten years, where she taught English and had her first analysis. She returned to England in 1937 and worked with D W Winnicott at Paddington Green Children's Hospital until the start of the Second World War. She was accepted in 1938 as a student for training at the Institute of Psychoanalysis and later qualified as a psychoanalyst. During the war, she worked as a psychiatric social worker in a child guidance clinic in the north of England. After the war, she returned to London and entered into psychoanalytic practice, as well as returning to work at Paddington Green Children's Hospital as a psychotherapist, again working with Winnicott.
She re-entered analysis in 1946 and, following the death of her analyst, became a patient of Winnicott in 1947.
The dates of birth and death of Nancy Born are not known but she was known to be deceased when the manuscript was transferred to the archives in 1986.
