Theodor Reik is recognized among Jewish contributors to Philosophy & Social Sciences — Psychoanalyst known for lay analysis and the concept of listening with the third ear
One of Freud's earliest and closest students, the Viennese Jewish psychoanalyst Reik championed 'lay analysis' — psychoanalysis by non-physicians. He coined the phrase 'listening with the third ear' to describe the analyst's intuitive attunement to the patient's unconscious. Fleeing Nazism, he emigrated to the United States and shaped American psychoanalytic training.
