Birth 11 Oct 1891 New York, New York County (Manhattan), New York, USA Death 19 Nov 1979 (aged 88) Greater London, England Burial Golders Green Crematorium Golders Green, London Borough of Barnet, Greater London, England Memorial ID 85025536 · View Source American child psychoanalyst and educator. A lifelong friend and partner of child psychoanalyst Anna Freud, she is known for her joint work with Freud on the analysis of children. During the 1960s and 70s, she directed the Research Group on the Study of Blind Children at the Hampstead Clinic in London. Her 1979 article on blind infants, "To be blind in a sighted world," published in the Psychoanalytic Study of the Child, is considered to be a landmark of empathic scientific observation. She was the daughter of artist Louis Comfort Tiffany and the granddaughter of Charles Lewis Tiffany, founder of Tiffany & Co. She soon began a lay analysis with Theodore Reik and also met Anna Freud, who was already an analyst, and who took in all the Burlingham children as her patients. Soon, the Burlingham boy's skin disorder disappeared. This turn of events led her to become a lay analyst herself and, in preparation for it, to complete an analysis with Sigmund Freud, even though by now she had become personally close to Anna Freud. After Sigmund Freud's death the following year, Dorothy Burlingham settled at 2 Maresfield Gardens, not far from Anna Freud, and in 1940 she moved into the Freud home at 20 Maresfield Gardens, where she lived out her days. The two, who would remain partners for the next forty years, would found the Hampstead War Nurseries during World War II, and their joint work there would lead to the publication of "Infants Without families" (1943).
