Life and work

The story behind the role.

Austrian psychoanalyst (1881-1947).

Hanns Sachs (German: [zaks]; 10 January 1881, in Vienna – 10 January 1947, in Boston) was one of the earliest psychoanalysts, and a close personal friend of Sigmund Freud. He became a member of Freud's Secret Committee of six in 1912, Freud describing him as one "in whom my confidence is unlimited in spite of the shortness of our acquaintance". In 1939, he founded American Imago.
