Nina Coltart: A Truly Independent Analyst

The author, who trained in the British Psychoanalytical Society with Nina Coltart, presents his recollections of his valued colleague and friend. Coltart is commended for having told the truth about what went on in her consulting room. Her many contributions not only to the British Society but also to other psychotherapy groups are recalled, as are her notable gifts as a consultant. Coltart was a cultivated and deeply caring person who, paradoxically, had few close friends.
