GORDON, Alessandra Ricciardi. Marie Bonaparte: princess and psychoanalyst. J. psicanal. [online]. 2009, vol.42, n.77, pp.107-121. ISSN 0103-5835.

Marie Bonaparte was the first French woman psychoanalyst, one of a few to be analyzed by Freud himself. She was one of the founders of the Paris Psychoanalytical Society, and throughout her life she worked as a psychoanalyst and helped the psychoanalytic cause. Her vast written work concerned mainly themes on female sexuality. She kept an active participation in the psychoanalytical scenario in France: she translated and spread many of Freud’s works and took an active part in the scientific and political life of the Society. She was a defender of lay analysis and her disagreement with Lacan eventually resulted in the 1953 and 1963 splits that the French Society went through. In spite of all that, she is frequently remembered simply as the wealthy psychoanalyst who bought the Freud-Fliess correspondence, or yet as the influent person whose role was fundamental in rescueing the Freud Family from occupied Austria. What might have happened so that all her production is little commented and studied today?

Palabras clave : Female sexuality; History of psychoanalysis; Pioneers of psychoanalysis; Masochism; Primal scene.
