Else Frenkel-Brunswik (Austrian German: [ˈfrɛŋkəl ˈbrʊnsvɪk]; August 18, 1908 – March 31, 1958) was a Polish-born Austrian psychologist. She was forced to leave Poland and later Austria as a result of anti-Jewish persecution. She is best known for her contributions to The Authoritarian Personality (1950), her collaboration with Theodor W. Adorno, Daniel Levinson, and Nevitt Sanford. It is considered a milestone work in personality theory and social psychology.
