Known for	non-traditional techniques in the treatment of the psychotic

Gisela Pankow (25 February 1914 – 14 August 1998) was a French psychoanalyst.

Pankow dedicated her life to challenging Freud's assertion regarding the impracticality of psychoanalytic treatment for psychoses. Remaining within the framework of Freudian metapsychology, she innovatively addressed certain technical aspects, such as incorporating clay modeling into sessions. Pankow formulated an approach within the realm of psychosis that alleviates the challenges faced by psychotic individuals in articulating their worldview. Followed by her clinical practice, Pankow's perspectives on the "lived body" and the "symbolizing functions of the body" represent a distinctive synthesis of psychoanalysis and phenomenology.

Her work was used by Deleuze in The Logic of Sense and Anti-Oedipus.
