Born in Arcachon, France, Guex achieved the French baccalauréat and studied at the Rousseau Institute in Geneva. In the 1930s, Guex established a pioneering medical-pedagogical service in Monthey, dedicated to the psychoanalytical treatment of children. Her monograph La névrose d'abandon (1950; English: Abandonment neurosis), later re-published in 1973 under the title Le Syndrome d'abandon, made her reputation international.[5] In it, she describes "abandonment neurosis" as a type of neurosis distinct from other previously defined categories.[6][7]
