Georges Heuyer

Georges Heuyer (30 January 1884 in Pacy-sur-Eure – 23 October 1977 in Paris) was a physician and child psychiatrist in France, who was appointed to the first chair of child psychiatry in Europe. He was the son of Louis Heuyer (1847–1930), a military medical officer. he died at the age of 93, was married three times, and raised eight children including three from his last wife, Suzanne Le Garrec, who married him in 1944. Georges Heuyer defended his thesis for his doctorate of medicine in 1914, from which he obtained the silver medal, under the supervision of Professor Ernest Dupré. Although not a psychoanalyst himself, he introduced the practice of psychoanalysis in a hospital environment, first with the Freudian analyst Eugénie Sokolnicka (whom he met thanks to the novelist Paul Bourget), then with Sophie Morgenstern to whom he entrusted a psychoanalysis laboratory. In 1925, he was a co-founder, with Jadwiga Abramson, of the Clinic of Pediatric Neuro-Psychiatry in Paris.
