Eduard Kronengold grew up in Cracow , where he graduated from high school in 1917 and began studying medicine at Cracow University . After the dissolution of the Danube Monarchy, he went to Vienna in 1919. After the Rigorosum he worked with Karel Wenckebach in the X-ray department of the First Medical Clinic . In 1924 he completed his medical degree in Berlin . Back in Vienna, on the recommendation of Beate Rank, he began a training analysis with Wilhelm Reich in 1925 and worked with Grete Bibring and Richard Sterba at the psychoanalytical outpatient clinic of the Vienna Psychoanalytical Association , of which he was accepted as an extraordinary member in 1928 and a full member in 1936.

From 1927 he had a private psychoanalytic practice in Vienna. In 1928 he became a member of the “Socialist Society for Sexual Counseling and Sexual Research” and from autumn 1930 worked for the sex counseling centers for workers established by Reich and Marie Frischauf in 1929.

Kronengold married the Hungarian gynecologist Stefanie Haas (1899–1955) in 1932. After Austria's annexation in 1938, he emigrated to England via Prague and, since his wife did not get a work permit, from there to the USA. In the USA he changed his family name to Kronold. He practiced in New York City and worked at Mount Sinai Hospital . Kronold became a member of the New York Psychoanalytical Society in 1941 and was its president in 1958/59 and 1960/61.
