Historians often focus on the most famous or radical, prolific theoreticians among psychoanalysts, thereby at times reproducing the self-centered biases of their subjects rather than providing a useful critique. I offer instead a revisionist view of this history of psychology, arguing that we should pay more attention to a variety of middle-way actors who combined diverse forms of often-dismissed labor that included practice, editorial, and administrative work, and who tried to find a less rigid theoretical middle ground to toil. These middle-way actors were often women and although scholars have commented on the prominence of women in the early societies of psychoanalysis, we have not conducted adequate research on all these early active members and their roles. This article presents an example of such an actor, Marjorie Brierley (1893-1984), one of the first women psychoanalysts in Britain who made unique, yet unresearched, varied contributions-intellectual and non-intellectual-to the famous interwar debate on femininity and to organizational and clinical work. If we are to fully understand the establishment, cultivation, and maintenance of the flourishing field of psychoanalysis in the early 20th century, we must account for the work of women like her.

心理学史上的“中间职业”案例：20世纪初英国精神分析家Marjorie Brierley的开创性工作。

历史学家经常关注精神分析家中最著名或最激进的，多产的理论家，从而有时重现他们学科的自我中心偏见，而不是提供有用的批评。相反，我对这种心理学史提供了修正主义的观点，认为我们应该更多地关注各种中间角色，他们将各种形式的经常被解雇的劳动结合在一起，包括实践，编辑和行政工作，并且他们试图找到一个不太严格的理论中间基础。这些中间角色通常是女性，尽管学者们评论了早期精神分析社会中女性的突出地位，但我们并未对所有这些早期活跃成员及其角色进行充分的研究。本文以Marjorie Brierley（1893-1984）这样的演员为例，英国最早的女性心理分析家之一，在著名的关于女性气质的两次世界大战辩论以及组织和临床工作方面做出了独特而又未经研究的，多种多样的贡献（智力和非智力）。如果我们要充分了解20世纪初期精神分析学蓬勃发展的领域的建立，培养和维护，就必须考虑像她这样的女性的工作。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2021 APA，保留所有权利）。我们必须考虑像她这样的女性的工作。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2021 APA，保留所有权利）。我们必须考虑像她这样的女性的工作。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2021 APA，保留所有权利）。
