Abram Kardiner was a pioneer in the application of ego-oriented, adaptational psychodynamics to problems in the social sciences. A medically trained psychoanalyst, he had benefitted during his early years from graduate course work in anthropology with Franz Boas and from a didactic analysis with Freud himself. In the late 1930s, Kardiner began what would prove to be an extremely fruitful collaboration with anthropologists Cora Du Bois and Ralph Linton. Their psychocultural seminars, sponsored initially by the New York Psychoanalytic Institute and later by the Department of Anthropology of Columbia University, gave rise to the personality-mediation model of culture and personality relations, with its key features of `basic personality structure,' and `projective systems,' and `primary and secondary institutions.'
