Françoise Hivernel (14 June 1943 – 29 August 2022) was a French-born academic archaeologist, psychoanalyst, writer and translator.[1]

Early life

[edit]

Hivernel was born to Raymonde Beque and André Hivernel in Versailles during World War II. Her brother Jacques Hivernel, was born in 1945.

Education

[edit]

Hivernel attended the lycée in Versailles and achieved the Baccalaureat, 1st and 2nd part, in 1974. She was awarded an MA and a PhD in 1979 from the UCL Institute of Archaeology in London. She also trained in Contemporary Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy through the West Midlands Institute for Psychotherapy in Birmingham.[2]

Careers

[edit]

Hivernel worked first as an archaeologist in France where she belonged to the National Scientific Research Centre, Laboratory of Quaternary Geology.[3] She dug in Ethiopia[4][5] and Lebanon. Then she went to the UK, whence she dug in Jordan[6][7] and Kenya. As part of research towards her PhD, she excavated in Ngenyn, a site initially discovered by Louis Leakey.[8][9][10][11] She has also contributed to learned papers on other African archaeological sites[12][13] and published on the archaeology of Britain.[14][15] Subsequently, she worked for Cambridgeshire County Council[16] and next the Cambridge City Council. She then had a career in Psychoanalytic-Psychotherapy.

Don’t we all live in a mirage, that of our imagination, forever reaching for something that we can never attain – something that keeps temptingly eluding us and therefore spurs us on?

Writing

[edit]

Hivernel wrote extensively on archaeology and psychotherapy and was published in an array of academic journals and books in both French and English. She followed the work of Françoise Dolto[18][19] and (with F. Sinclair) translated Dolto's seminal book on parent-infant psychotherapy[20] from French into English. This work brought Dolto to the attention of English-speaking clinicians.

Hivernel published the travel narrative Safartu[21] and substantially contributed to a women's travel anthology 50 Camels and She's Yours.[22] She was a member of Cambridge Writers for some years.[23]
