| biography:
| Anthropologist and psychoanalyst, born in Budapest, Hungary. Educated in his native city, he became the first occupant of the University of Budapest's chair in anthropology in 1919. His study of psychoanalysis informed his theories of myth, ritual, and dream life, and made him a pioneer in the convergence of this discipline with anthropology. He emigrated to the USA for political reasons in 1938. A prolific writer, his final work, Magic and Schizophrenia, appeared posthumously. |
