História biográfica

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.
