Georges Heuyer

Georges Heuyer (30 January 1884, Pacy-sur-Eure, – 23 October 1977, Paris) was the physician who first established child psychiatry in France in 1949.

He was the son of Louis Heuyer (1847–1930), a military medical officer.

Although not a psychoanalyst himself, he introduced the practice of psychoanalysis in a hospital environment, first with the Freudian analyst Eugénie Sokolnicka (whom he met thanks to the novelist Paul Bourget), then with Sophie Morgenstern to whom he entrusted a psychoanalysis laboratory. Heuyer wrote extensively on child psychiatry (ten books and more than one hundred publications).
