Career

Deborah Britzman Melanie Klein Early Analysis and the Question of Freedom public

Britzman was hired as an Assistant Professor at Binghamton University. Seven years after she began teaching at Binghamton, she moved to Canada to teach at the York University in Toronto, where she has been since 1992.

Britzman developed an interest in theoretical and clinical psychoanalysis and in 2001 began to train as a psychoanalyst. She later entered a psychoanalytic institute, and upon completion opened a small private practice and achieved the designation of psychoanalyst. She continues to this date to teach at York University.

Current academic work and focus

In 2013 Britzman was working on a three-year research project titled "the emotional world of teaching: A psychoanalytic inquiry." The project is a study of the psychology of teaching and mental health.

Britzman’s book Freud and Education, published in 2011 by Routledge Press explores key controversies of education through a Freudian approach. It defines how fundamental Freudian concepts such as the psychical apparatus, the drives, the unconscious, and the development of morality are related to the field of education.
