Henri Ellenberger

Henri Ellenberger was a Swiss psychiatrist and a pioneer in the field of psychotherapy, best known for his work on the history and development of the unconscious mind in psychology. He wrote "The Discovery of the Unconscious," a comprehensive examination of the evolution of ideas surrounding the unconscious, drawing on various schools of thought including psychoanalysis, depth psychology, and spiritual traditions. His research highlighted the significance of understanding the unconscious in mental health treatment and helped frame the landscape of modern psychological practices. Ellenberger's contributions continue to influence both psychological theory and practice today.
