Nicolas Abraham
Nicolas Abraham (French: [a.bʁa.am]; 23 May 1919 – 18 December 1975) was a Hungarian-born French psychoanalyst best known for his work with Mária Török. The pair took a very individuated approach to psychoanalytic theory, thinking that the use of preset notions (castration, desire for the mother, etc.) may be too binding upon an individual's motives to clearly fit within the framework of their personal experiences. Abraham was educated at the Sorbonne in philosophy and completed his analytical training in the 1950s.
