Biography

Professor Loewenberg was born in Germany, spent his early childhood in China, is married to an Austrian, and grew up in Bakersfield, which explains nothing.

He was trained at the Free University of Berlin and Berkeley, which explains a little. He teaches European cultural and intellectual history; German, Austrian, and Swiss history; Psychohistory; and Political Psychology. Prof. Loewenberg was the Sir Peter Ustinov Visiting Professor at the University of Vienna in 2006. Integrating the identities of an historian and political psychologist with the clinical practice of psychoanalysis, he is Dean and Director of the Training School, Emeritus, of the Southern California Psychoanalytic Institute and the New Center for Psychoanalysis, Los Angeles. He is Chair of the International Psychoanalytic Association [IPA] China Committee and Co- Editor of the IPA Centenary History Volume, “100 Years of Psychoanalysis, 1910-2010.” (London: IPA & Karnac, 2011).
