Born and educated (mostly) in Budapest, Hungary, she has taken in the way of thinking and ideas of Ferenczi, the Balints, Hermann and Rajka as an integral part of a "professional mother tongue". Living and working in a totalitarian world sensitised her to the social and individual aspects of trauma, identity formation and strategies of survival.

She is the project lead of FREEPSY: Free Clinics and a Psychoanalysis for the People: Progressive Histories, Collective Practices, Implications for Our Times (UKRI Frontier Research Grant). Ivan Ward is former Deputy Director and Head of Learning at the Freud Museum London, where he worked for 33 years. He is author of a number of books and papers on psychoanalytic theory and the applications of psychoanalysis to socio-cultural issues. He is an Honorary Research Fellow at UCL Psychoanalysis Unit.
