When British psychotherapist Susie Auerbach began her career in the 1970s, women's mental health problems were often overlooked. Orbach decided to establish a special clinic that would work exclusively with women and learn how the experiences of her clients differ from those of men.

On the occasion of Auerbach's 80th birthday, Forbes Woman reveals how her ideas influenced psychoanalysis.
