10 July 1914

Vienna, IX. Berggasse 19

My dear Jones,

Thank you very much for all your gifts and your new. I know your speaking skills even bigger than your writing skills, and I welcome the news of your success in Durham.

Against my habits, I have carefully read the articles on the repression in forgetting that you sent me and that I should try, and what seemed to be a highly respectable level among psychologists was indeed a poor level analyst. I did not find anything new in this verbiage - so that the charge against Hamlet Polonius door -, some amount of nonsense and to discussions on sides that could be resolved by reference to a single sentence me. Still, we must be satisfied.

Putnam made the promise to store our side seems formal, but it is in dire need of a nanny to hold hands and guide his steps. He has no idea of ​​perfidy Adler (1), Lou Salome sent me a letter from him, written 1913, who was able to impress.

I am pleased to announce that my sister recovers, and we do not have to delay our departure Sunday evening set at. He will have to wait a week or more at Cottage Sanatorium before a journey.

The Congress of Berlin is not against my line, but I do not see the interest to participate in the conference. Perhaps you'd better go to make you better understand the people of Berlin.

I will leave tomorrow Loe. She recovered quickly after more morphine, and I see no way to get it out for now. It does not yet believe the ψα, but it is charming for all its faults, that are more than largely overshadowed by its excellent. There has light and shade.

The 4and edition of the Interpretation of Dreams has just been published and will arrive in a few days.

What is the way that the decision to show for Jung Eder ? I am sorry for you, but it is the action of "Curettes" [sharp spoon], remove all tissue insane (2).

Have you received a letter from Bleuler ?

My next card to give you my address Karlsbad.

Sincerely you

Freud.

Dear Doctor

I know you stay true to me. We are a small group that does not bigots home, or traitors.

We are looking forward very much for your visit to Karlsbad. End of July is more favorable than August, because we leave after the first days of August.

You will soon receive my card with my address in Karlsbad, it will first be necessary to establish.

With my cordial Your dedication Freud

7 July 1914

69 Portland Court, London

Dear Professor Freud,

I was very sorry to hear of your illness sister, and I hope the next news I receive will be much better.

Attached is a letter asse2 flickering Putnam. Its «Gutmu[ü]activity » [good-natured] is actually a disease. Anyway, I will try to prevent spawn with Adler, and hope to succeed. I will speak to Rank Article corrected (1).

Cut, attached, of British Medical Journal me rapping elle votre remarque "It's the fewest people possible, in scientific dispute mannerly, ges-chweige because to remain objective2. "Still, the comments of the editor are so obviously displaced and controversies that the reader will derive an overall impression mostly favorable attitude to my, and altogether I hold that it is a chance to have provoked a reaction from him as stupid.

I also excellent news to report on the part of psychologists English, This confirms my hope that they will prove to be more accessible than neurologists. Durham meeting was an unqualified success. I will give details in the Magazine. All speakers were on our side, and we can say that the ideas of repression and the unconscious have been well received by the English psychologists and philosophers3. The rest of infantile sexuality, Luckily that has not been addressed in the first. I know that the acceptance of these two concepts in the abstract is a small step in the direction of their practical application, but it is still a good start. In some, there was the usual tendency to explain oblivion by the ordinary principles, and reserve the explanation ψα few cases, but I put the laugh on my side saying that before we give our explanation was first necessary to create a need (as for infantile amnesia), as Army Hi can not save souls before they instilled a sense of sin.

After the meeting, We had two days of relaxation in a delightful. The participants all knew intimately, and it made a nice meet-ing family, in which I was cordially welcomed. The ψα has all along been the focus of discussion, and in circumstances as naturally friendly and informal it was possible to explain difficult points satisfactorily. McDougall, d’Oxford, I was asked to analyze a dream, and we spent a whole morning. It emerged amount of material which made a strong impression as to the accuracy of our methods and our findings. They asked me to participate in their next conference in November on the "relationship emotion / impulse" in January and give a lecture on the Discharge4 (I had talked for 1 ½ h. the meeting, explaining that I could not deal with a small portion of the subject). Now, I therefore good reasons to be relaxed and I hope that others will put. A smart young psychologist, Pear of Man-chester (5), has done and confirms the findings for adult life, though not yet for Children.

You are right to say that Jung probably try the tactic of compromise if we autorisions to speak to our society, this is why I opposed my veto, especially since we have little solid members.

Can you tell me a word of Internat. Congress for Sexology, to be held in Berlin in October? I do not see your name on the list of sponsors ? Y was he a reason for this ? The Royal Society of Medicine asked me to represent them in Congress, and I tentatively accepted, even if, as I told them, it is unlikely that I go (6).

What you said Loe did not surprise ; we can only hope the best. I guess I'll see in a month.

Again my best wishes for your holidays, hoping that nothing vien delay the dra-.

Affectionately to you

Jones.

7 July 1914 (1)

Vienna, IX. Berggasse 19

Dear Jones,

This is a bad time to write letters, time the hottest and most intense work of the year. I'm pretty exhausted and decided to close shop next Saturday ; our departure was made uncertain by the sudden illness of my sister, a bad flu with bronchopneumonia, she has a fever for a week and, as you know, it is impossible to say how it will evolve. My daughter will leave the 7 this month, she will go to England 15, and perhaps you will the opportunity to view or before August.

Regarding Loe, morphine campaign was cut short ; trying to break free, she became so miserable that it was impossible to continue in the short time that we had before us. She had started too late, and had a lot of trouble consciously, but the internal resistance is too high. As the success of recent years, it is easy to understand that there has consented because she was not satisfied. This time, it was, and she had to learn what were the difficulties. I do not think she has cheated us more than once (I knew) during treatment, and I guess it is more reliable than his accuser. I hope it will stick now to smaller doses. The uncertainty about the true nature of his pain was a barrier to treatment therefore. After studying its latest reactions, I incline strongly to the solution - from the far more important is indeed hysterical.

I am delighted that you inherit the good company of Ferenczi, because I am in need of a few weeks this summer isolation. I wrote to Abraham to offer him his hand circular 20 this month, unless the holy men of Switzerland react before. I am delighted that you are inaccessible to Jung when it comes to London. He could try flattery and compromise.

Yours, with my best wishes

Freud

Dear Madam,

I am so busy that it is better that I answer you without delay.

Thank you from my heart for your letter. I was very pleased to learn that you have already seen, there is a year, of attempts to move the center of the problem and that you have known for such. It remains only to discuss the reasons which they arise.

I believe that by allowing me to read your correspondence with Adler, you give me a mark of confidence. The letter shows its specific virulence and perfectly characterizes his personality. I do not think she mad the portrait I drew of him. Say in proper German (then it will be easier to continue) that he is a disgusting.

I never fought divergent views in the sphere of research on ψα,especially since I usually have myself several opinions on the same subject, at least until I publish one of them. But it must maintain its unity kernel, otherwise it would change the whole atmosphere.

We can not predict today how Congress will be held. It may be that everything happens in the greatest calm, especially if, at that time, the Swiss were removed. Otherwise, I would not risk our review on this map.

The mysterious guest that you advertise will be very well received by all. And if you are told And anal sex, doubt that the brothers (31) want to listen, also.

Yours.

Freud.

(as she later expressed in Life in Review) some belonging to his brothers, experienced by her in her childhood, and it was later "shine on all men of the world". ("It seemed to me always find hidden in each one of my brothers. ») Louise von Salomé was born 12 February 1861 five brothers (which two died young). Freud speaks mostly of six brothers.

Dear Professor,

Thanks for the "History of the Psychoanalytic Movement1 ». With emotion and admiration – these emotions that I know so well in good reader of your text -, I recognized by your pen, which opened as far plow our land darkest and most fertile and now turns into a sharp blade2. The shots are good and the people involved have beautiful ride on their hind legs, these scars will not fade. It was good to see the melee eccentric, This Babylonian confusion of languages ​​of those who are no longer with us extensively torn off by the echo of your voice on what the analysis and where it is not.

It is tremendously exciting to hear the story of these years, where you, only, laid the foundations for what unites us and leads us, of what we are more eager than ever to contribute actively.3

A personal thank you cordially for so kindly mentioned this moment my instinct led me right to you in Vienna3. It is the same impulse that leads me to ask you now if Ib you could visit in late July for a day at Karlsbad, as I did last year at Marienbad.

This could also be the beginning of August, any date me because we should also remain after our conference in Berlin4.

With my best wishes for your cure in Karlsbad, I remain

* Berlin W, Rankestrasse 24

5.7.14.

Dear Professor,

I have received so far no sign of Zurich and Munich. Unless you manifestiez other desires, Sunday, I will let the letter to Maeder and Seif.

In conclusion of the summer semester, I did, samedi dernier la «Association for Sexology", a presentation on incest, marriage between parents and exogamy. I found a lot more understanding and approval that I was not expecting.

Now I have to once again ask your advice. There is some time, I told you I wanted to talk of Dresden Psychosis. Meantime, I came to think that it was desirable to have greater experience, before intervening publicly; This theme might be, as a report central, be discussed in an upcoming conference. Another issue is needed now to me. I think I succeeded, through several analyzes I conducted this year, to light almost completely premature ejaculation, that is to say, until the deepest roots, in the first two years of life. I would like to present the results to Congress. But I wonder if you find that the subject is appropriate. Moreover, I would like to point out that I should then analyze in some detail castration anxiety; or what you told me at Christmas, during the trip to Berlin, is not yet published! Would be best, of course, you talk yourself of these things to Dresden; I could then, so to speak, demonstrate its application to a particular issue. The rest, the derivation of castration anxiety is one of the results I have gained.

The holidays are now close to you; in case I would not have the opportunity to write to you now and then, I want you now wish, to you and yours, a good trip and a good rest. I would like to also know your address in Karlsbad. - My wife goes tomorrow with the kids on the Baltic.

Cordial greetings to you all from all of us

Abraham your.

The answer to the above questions do not press!

05-07-1914 Lou to Freud

Göttingen, 5. VII. 1914

Dear Professor,

Not, I have not tried to conceal objections - the most terrifying frankness would have appeared black on white, I think as little, in that event, a blurring resulting from this sincerity. I just tried to express myself with much brevity as mass mailing of an important book bringing with itself a massive sending of replies, I was terrified for you.

Reading your essay, I said with some irritation that any revolution raises indignant outcries ; but it belongs to the most specific of Freudian psychoanalysis to have to endure a whole new way and to see themselves forced into these "démasquages", "Charges" and very painful discussions. Because only, your discoveries are constantly located, and progress, behind resistors (in all of us) and we completely forgot our childlike joy when playing hide-buffer, where it was intentionally hidden climbed out of his corner with a cry of triumph. That we can not convince anyone here - unless there really is predisposed in advance -, agreement between the experience and knowledge is what is more attractive and more in this new science and this is what lends itself to all these struggles one side so pathetic.

Certainly, nobody can predict whether, outside the actual psychoanalytic research, in these other environments where they are considered philosophical perspective, etc., opinions concorderont always ; because this is where they decide for each very personally, even when we want to release it fully. But while questionable that lie on the outskirts of psychoanalysis can never ceased to exist, better, do not even should ; I think the misunderstanding of the various "splits" * are almost all that we have moved the nuclear issue of its central location and it takes a while to start elsewhere ; and that, only for personal reasons. There is just one year since I corresponded with Adler 27 on that ; at this time, I had a great desire to submit the response letter and IA ; later, I would also like to, well today, I have known, I hope, better explain.

This was, I tried to write a book that I titled And anal sex28, I do not know if this is publishable, but in the meantime, I am told myself.

We meet in these days of the end of September that we are entitled to provide storm 29. It may be that I beg leave to present a guest 30, which will probably be useful someday.

Your Lou Andreas.

* “Divisions”.

27. The 12 August 1913, Lou A.-S. wrote from Göttingen to Alfred Adler "to make certain that I understand things differently today than last summer, I wrote to you for the first time ". Adler replied the 16 August. Both letters are published in the Journal, pp. 388-392.

28. This book was published under this title in the fifth installment of the fourth year of Imago.

29. It had been planned a congress in Dresden for 20/21 September ; it did not happen, probably because of the war. Lou A.-S. expected a "stormy course" discussion.

30. Given the circumstances, he may have acted Eduard Spranger, which (at this time, he taught at Leipzig) had addressed it to the end of May about a magazine he wanted to start to serve the youth. "Vos nouvelles In Between Land (1902) touched me deep in my work and my feeling. "She could not approve this draft Spranger, but resulted from the first letters of correspondence and exchange of ideas and lively meetings from person to person, probably until October 1914.

01-07-1914 Jones to Freud

1he July 1914

69 Portland Court, London

Dear Professor Freud,

I present two arrived, I thank you : reprint the "historical", where changes have interested me, and the quotation from Goethe fun (1) ; and trials of Narzissmus. I can not say anything yet, because it is one of your articles "advanced" (as Chapter VII of the Tram interpretation) which requires more than reading. We have this time a good Yearbook, who will decide on the final.

Ferenczi to spend a month in London this summer, and I hope he will follow this project.

Friday, I went to Durham for a conference on "The role of repression in oblivion", jointly organized by the British Psychological Society, the Aristotelian Society, the Mind Association et. I've received four communications which will be presented, and I will send you later. Three of them are excel-lent, one being a remarkably high level, although critical. You will be surprised, I believe, their quality (2).

Our latest visitor was here Frink, President of the New York Society ψα (3). He intends to come late May you be analyzed by, Abraham or very ! It seems an honest man, but very limited. It gave no specific new America, and a seemed very satisfied with the group NY.

I recently had news of Abraham, and I am anxious to know the result of the bomb, however, your reprint may obviate; I suggested to wait three or four weeks, is possible, as Jung can still play in our hands (4).

Three others went by Jung, two to three weeks ! The wife of Eder, Dr Nicholl (5) - A young promising enough, but influenced by the Dr Constance Long - and a colleague of Miss Long. This month, Jung down a week with Miss Long, and she wanted our society invited him to speak to us – what I heard my opposite veto. [The (6)] Bryan me is a great help, because I can not rely on Eder. Bryan is our Vice President, and he became President in case I am elected President of the Vereinigung, matter - I guess - has not yet been decided (7).

I did not intend to go to the Berne Convention, because I have a lot of work here. Patients continue to come, and I have seven hours of analysis per week throughout the summer.

If it is too hot here in Vienna today, you will be especially pleased to flee, even if you will be delighted anyway. Your daughter is in England this month, is it not ? I hope to have the opportunity to see for some time.

I do not have much new to add, you see, my last letter – things are pretty quiet throughout the time it is. I send you my best wishes for a fruitful and beneficial holiday, I'm sure you will enjoy. Remember, please, send me your address in Carlsbad.

Faithfully to you

Jones.
