Nathaniel Branden

Clinical Psychology

Nathaniel Branden (1930 to 2014) was a Canadian-American psychotherapist and writer, born Nathan Blumenthal in Brampton, Ontario, known for his work in the psychology of self-esteem. In the 1950s and 1960s he was an associate of Ayn Rand and played a prominent role in promoting her philosophy, Objectivism, until the two split acrimoniously in 1968. He then concentrated on developing his own psychological theories and modes of therapy. He earned a BA in psychology from the University of California, Los Angeles, an MA from New York University and, in 1973, a PhD in psychology from the California Graduate Institute.
