Marie Jenny Emilie Aubry (née Weiss; 8 October 1903 – 21 January 1987) was a French psychiatrist and psychoanalyst.

Life and career

Born in to the Parisian middle-class elite, to Paul Louis Weiss (1867-1945) and Jeanne Félicie Weiss (née Javal; 1871–1956), the daughter of Louis Émile Javal. She was the sister of the famous suffragette Louise Weiss.[1] Aubry was among the first female doctors to qualify in France.[2] Having worked with the Resistance during the war, she discovered psychoanalysis through Anna Freud in 1948, and trained as a psychoanalyst under the supervision of Jacques Lacan,[3] with whom she developed a friendship and whom she followed through the various splits of the French psychoanalytic movement.

Aware too of the work of such figures as René Spitz and John Bowlby,[4] Aubry began to specialise in the treatment of institutionalised children, exploring the role of maternal deprivation in their symptomatology.[5] Her book Enfance Abandonée was published in 1953, and her collected papers in 2003.[6]

Family

Jenny Aubry was the mother of Élisabeth Roudinesco. Through her mother she was the niece of Alice Anna Weiller (née Javal) and the cousin of Paul-Louis Weiller, the son of Alice and Lazare Weiller.[7][8]
