Harry Guntrip (1901–1975) was a psychologist known for his major
contributions to
object relations theory. He was a
Fellow of the
British Psychological Society and
a psychotherapist and lecturer at the Department of Psychiatry,
Leeds
University, and also a Congegationalist minister. He was described by
John
D. Sutherland as "one of the psychoanalytic immortals".
In Guntrip’s writing, the work of
Melanie Klein,
Ronald Fairbairn, and
D. W. Winnicott are synthesized. But
he also advanced his own ideas in which he criticized Freud for being too
oriented toward biology and therefore dehumanizing. He argued that the regressed
ego exerts a powerful effect on life and understood the
schizoid sense of emptiness as
reflecting the withdrawal of energy from the real world into a world of internal
object relations.
He worked extensively with
schizoid patients who were detached, withdrawn, and
unable to form real human relations. He came to regard the self as the
fundamental psychological concept,
psychoanalysis as the study of its growth, and
psychoanalytic therapy as a means of
providing a personal relationship in which the alienated, withdrawn self is
given an opportunity for healthy growth and development, and finally putting it
in touch with other persons and objects.
Guntrip was analysed by both W.R.D.Fairbairn and D.W.Winnicott.
