História biográfica

John Klauber was born in Hampstead, London, on 1 Jan 1917 of a distinguished Hungarian Jewish family. He was educated at St. Paul’s School, London, and Christ Church College, Oxford, where he studied history, graduating in 1939. During the Second World War, Klauber served as a captain in the British Army Intelligence Corps in North Africa and the Middle-East.

After becoming interested in Jung while at St Paul’s, and later reading Freud at Oxford and while on military service, Klauber wrote to Ernest Jones whilst still in the army, expressing his wish to become a psychoanalyst. Jones met him and encouraged him to train. He commenced his psychoanalytic training in 1948, initially being analysed by Dr Kate Friedlander and, following her death, by Mrs Eva Rosenfeld. In parallel, Klauber also trained in medicine at Middlesex Hospital, qualifying as a doctor in 1951. He gained one year's experience in psychiatry at Bethlem Royal Hospital under J B S Lewis.

Starting work as a psychoanalyst in 1953, Klauber became an Associate Member of the British Psychoanalytical Society that same year and gained full membership of the Society in 1959. He was also a member of the British Psychological Society and a Foundation Fellow of the Royal College of Psychiatrists. He was recognized as an Independent in terms of his psychoanalytic theory and practice and held the chairmanship of the Scientific Committee of the BPAS from 1971 to 1976. At the time of his death he had been President of the BPAS for a year and was also Freud Memorial Visiting Professor Elect at University College, London. He died on 11 Aug 1981 at the age of 64.
