História biográfica

Clifford Scott was born in a small Ontario town on 11 Mar 1903. He studied medicine at the University of Toronto where he also gained some experience in psychiatry. He continued his psychiatric training in New York and later in Baltimore at Johns Hopkins Hospital. In 1931, he was accepted by the British Psychoanalytical Society for training and assigned to Melanie Klein for analysis.

On qualification he began psychoanalytic work with psychiatric patients in the Maudsley Hospital and later at the Cassel Hospital. His published works from that time were concerned with analytic approaches to manic depressive disorders, schizophrenia and the body image. He left the hospital posts to practise and teach in London just before the Second World War.

He played an active role in the British Psychoanalytical Society, involved in the Training Committee and the 'International Journal of Psychoanalysis', and he was director of the Institute Clinic from 1947 to 1953. He was president of the Society in 1953, but cut short his presidency when he accepted an invitation to return to Canada where he turned his attention to the formation of the Canadian Psychoanalytical Society, of which he became the first president, and to the development of a training organisation for psychoanalysts in Canada. He died on 19 Jan 1997.
