He was a professor of psychology at the New School for Social Research,[2] where he served for many years as director of clinical training.

In addition he was past-president of The International Association for Relational Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy.
Early Life
Jeremy D. Safran was born on April 23, 1952 in Canada to Jewish parents. Though Safran was raised Jewish and identified as culturally Jewish throughout his life, he found a spiritual home within his practice of Buddhism. Safran earned his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of British Columbia in 1982.
Professional life
After finishing his Ph.D. in 1982, Safran became the director of the Cognitive Therapy Unit at the Clarke Institute of Psychiatry in Toronto from 1986 until 1990 when he was appointed Associate Professor of Psychology at The Derner Institute for Advanced Psychological Studies at Adelphi University in Garden City, New York. Safran held this position until 1993 when he was appointed Professor of Psychology and Director of Clinical Training at The New School for Social Research in Manhattan. Safran would hold this position until his death in 2018.
Safran joined the faculty at the New School for Social Research shortly after the program had been placed on probation by the American Psychological Association. Through his work as Director of Clinical Training, Safran "not only to move the Clinical Psychology Program to full accreditation, but to make it the vibrant, respected program it is today." While at the New School for Social Research, Safran established a training collaboration with Beth Israel Medical Center (now defunct), the Sándor Ferenczi Center, The Center for Alliance-Focused Training, and the New School Psychotherapy Research Program.
Safran underwent psychoanalytic training at the Postdoctoral Program at New York University. Safran would later hold a faculty position within this program, in addition to his post at the New School for Social Research.
Contributions
Safran was known for his contributions in a variety of areas within psychology and psychoanalysis.
His early theoretical work in collaboration with Les Greenberg became the foundation for the development of emotion-focused therapy. He was also an early innovator in the refinement of cognitive theory and practice through his incorporation of principles from interpersonal theory and emotion theory and research.
Safran was also known for his contributions to the field of psychoanalysis, publishing numerous articles on the subject. Safran's work emphasized the development and refinement of relational psychoanalytic theory and practice. Safran was known for his writing and teaching on the topic of psychoanalysis and Buddhism.[4]
As a psychotherapy researcher, Safran played a critical role in research on the Therapeutic Alliance and treatment impasses. His work introduced new ways of conceptualizing the Therapeutic Alliance, the function of "Ruptures" within it, and developing methods for "Repairing" it. His empirical research program in this area, in collaboration with J. Christopher Muran and other colleagues, continues to influence researchers and clinicians in North America, Europe and Latin America.
Safran published several books including: Psychoanalysis and Psychoanalytic Therapies (2012); Psychoanalysis & Buddhism: An Unfolding Dialogue (2003); "Negotiating the Therapeutic Alliance: A Relational Treatment Guide" (2000); Widening the Scope of Cognitive Therapy (1998); Interpersonal Process in Cognitive Therapy (1990); and Emotion in Psychotherapy (1987).
Death
Safran was found dead in his home in Brooklyn, New York on May 7, 2018, victim of what police believe was a botched burglary.[5]
