Biography
Born in Slovakia in 1904, Melitta grew up in Budapest, and trained as a psychoanalyst at the Berlin Institute.[1] There she met Walter Schmideberg, another psychoanalyst, whom she married in 1924.
In 1932, along with her mother, she moved to London and joined the British Psychoanalytical Society as associate member. Entering further analysis with Edward Glover,[2] she became a partisan with him in their vocal dispute with her own mother Melanie Klein;[3] and later resigned from the Society in 1944[4] to concentrate on her work with juvenile delinquency.[5] She is sometimes seen as an extreme example of the bitterness that can be installed by having an analytic parent.[6]
She died in 1983.[7]
