Leopold Bellak (1916-2000), psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, was born in Vienna on 22 June 1916. During his medical career, Bellak dedicated himself to private practice, teaching, and research, and was best known for his work on projective tests, schizophrenia, adult attention deficit disorder, and brief and emergency psychotherapy. Bellak was a medical student at the University of Vienna and the youngest person permitted to study at the Vienna Psychoanalytic Institute when he immigrated to the United States in May 1938. After arriving in the United States, Bellak earned his Master’s degree in psychology from Boston University. He subsequently served as both the Austin and the Rantoul Fellow at Harvard University and The Harvard Psychological Clinic respectively. In 1944, Bellak received his M.D. from New York Medical College. In 1950, he graduated from the New York Psychoanalytic Institute. Bellak served as Emeritus Professor of Psychiatry at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine/Montefiore Medical Center and as Clinical Professor of Psychology for the Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy at New York University into the 1990s. Bellak is the originator of the Children’s Apperception Test (C.A.T.), the Senior Apperception Technique (S.A.T.), and the first 24-hour walk-in clinic, named the Trouble Shooting Clinic at Elmhurst General Hospital. He also made serious strides in developing the Thematic Apperception Test (T.A.T.). Bellak was a Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association, the American Psychoanalytic Association and The American Psychological Association. He served as a Diplomat of the American Board of Professional Psychology and was elected to the American College of Psychoanalysis. He previously served as president of the Society for Projective Techniques and of the Westchester Psychoanalytic Society. The Psychiatric Outpatient Centers of America honored Bellak for his contribution to the theory and practice of community psychiatry in June 1976. In 1964, Bellak was awarded the Annual Merit Award of the New York Society of Clinical Psychologists. He was awarded the Frieda Fromm-Reichmann Award by the American Academy of Psychoanalysis in 1982 for his contributions towards a better understanding of schizophrenia. Also in 1982, Bellak was designated Honorary Fellow by the Postgraduate Center for Mental Health in New York. In 1990, Bellak received the Bruno Klopfer Award from the Society for Personality Assessment and was selected as one of the Honorary Presidents of the 13th International Congress of Rorschach and Projective Techniques in Paris. The American Psychological Association honored Bellak with an Award for Distinguished Professorial Contributions in 1992. Bellak authored and edited over 35 texts and over 200 professional articles. His books and test materials have been translated into at least nine languages. Bellak’s final two books were Psychoanalysis as a Science, in which he makes a case for integrating psychoanalytic practice with theory and methodology of psychological research, and Confrontation in Vienna, which details Bellak’s first 20 years growing up under Nazi-influenced Vienna. The sixth edition of the TAT, CAT and SAT in Clinical Use was released in 1992.
