History
Wolfgang Loch was born in Berlin on 10 May 1915 and died in Rottweil in on 7 Feb 1995. Even during his lifetime, he acquired the reputation of being the most prominent German-language psychoanalytic theorist of the second half of the twentieth century, particularly with regards to object-relations theory.
Amongst his professional activities, he established a chair of psychoanalysis at the University of Tübingen and he was a founding member and the first president of the Stuttgart-Tübingen Psychoanalytic Study Group. Michael Balint was first his mentor and then his friend, and Loch made substantial contributions to the development of the Balint Group method. For over two decades, he co-edited the 'Jahrbuch der Psychoanalyse'. He was president of the German Psychoanalytical Association (DPV) from 1972 to 1975 and became a member emeritus of the DPV in 1990.
