Joseph Weiss, 80; Specialist in Research, Use of Psychoanalysis
LA Times
Joseph Weiss, 80, a San Francisco psychoanalyst whose research and theory deepened the understanding of how people change through psychotherapy and psychoanalysis, died Nov. 7 at his home of complications from lung cancer. Weiss’ interest in the psychoanalytic process began when he noticed that his mother cried at happy endings of movies instead of during the movie when painful situations were unfolding.
