Gertrude Pollitt recounts the challenges of her adventurous life. After a privileged childhood in Vienna, she fled the Nazis, survived the London Blitz, helped war-traumatized children in Germany, and emigrated to Chicago where she worked as a clinical social worker, psychoanalyst, and Executive Director of the Center for Psychoanalytic Study.

This memoir recounts the life of Gertrude Pollitt, a social worker, psychotherapist, psychoanalyst, and educator. Born in Vienna to a loving and cultured Jewish family, Pollitt narrowly escaped the clutches of the Nazi Regime and fled to London. After the war, she relocated to Germany to help children whose lives had been shattered. Pollitt recalls her journey from displaced immigrant to successful therapist in her own words, describing her personal challenges, her patients, and her professional development. Children of Separation and Loss is a stirring testament to the power of perseverance and the determination to survive crippling emotional losses.

Dr. Gertrude Pollitt, Executive Director Emerita Center for Psychoanalytic Study in Chicago, is a practicing psychoanalyst, clinician, and social worker. She serves as consultant to agencies, schools, and mental health professionals and has been published in professional journals.
