22-02-1914 Jones to Freud

22 February 1914

69 Portland Court, London

Dear Professor Freud,

Putnam is incorrigible ; is a woman, not a man.

I have not yet received the least testing the Magazine, Booklet 1, and I guess the time missed to send, because we want it so at the earliest. In this case, would you kindly make additions as you like in my account of Jung, history to save time (1),

Yours Jones.

21 February 1914 Vienna

Dear Jones,

I had no particular reason to send you this famous warning at the time of my last letter. By giving you the back of my mind, This con-cern has arisen among others, and I have expressed. I am happy to answer your.

Since then, Loe you wrote, I know, so I do not have to give you fresh news, but I will soon, soon as it can be examined by a urologist. The young couple behaves well. As far as I can guess, future arrangements depend in large part on the state of the kidney, of which will be determined next week.

Enclosed clippings of British Medical Journal that interested me at the highest point, and passing Wells, about which you can without difficulty make a note for your review Varia, the Magazine. A mon sens, two exhaust pent-Wells : the father's murder and the origin of taboos, but as a piece of scientific divination, it can pass (1).

I have now completed the two Beiträge historical sense(3). They are quite incisive, and, I hope, not too boring. Sheets (70 pages !) tion are kept in Ferenczi, then they will go to Abraham, and from there to the printer by; you the first tests of their output. I hesitate to make the manuscript more travel land and sea. There will be time for your comments and suggestions.

You overestimate the pig, Windows, sharing his assumption on Sadger. Jung was simply no other contribution Vienna, and he would have accepted any other. If you want my advice, do not pay attention to his criticisms of your articles.

The big event of the last few days, is the Rectoralsrede [speech rec-torate] de Jelgersma (Leyde), on the analysis of dreams(3), letter addressed to me and brochure, about which, I am sure, you had to learn enough to time it is. This is the first official recognition by a university. (14 years old !)

I'm ready to attack, tomorrow, Narcissism(4).

With all my affection, your

Freud

But it is difficult to say whether this is what Freud refers. Anyway, passing Wells was not reproduced in Magazine.

458 Iron

Budapest, the 18 February 1914

Dear Professor,

Jelgersma delivery and letter were major events. I did not know that Heller wanted to acquire this item, It is for this reason that I immediately wrote Jelgersma, the suggestion of Abraham, asking him to send it to us for the Zeitschrift. This does not preclude Heller also publish, drawn in to share. Attached is a letter typically "Zurich" of Ophuijsen1 on the same theme. He thinks that "Jelgersma is too well adapted" and wants to "eliminate youth". Seen ; implementation of a systematic absolute ego psychology (denies the role of libido) inevitably leads to a kind of delirium of persecution. The Christian religion, always fearing the vengeance of the father killed, could be the cause of this psychosis, apparently epidemic among analysts Swiss.

If you agree, I refer to his account Ophuijsen. I find partisan and malicious. Fear of new competition may also play. The sincere and clear with which J.[Elgersma] talking about sexuality, and even incest, I really like; I see good beginnings to its future.

I join gladly travel to Easter. Sure, Annerl us Emme-Neros *. I hope she's already quite well and that we can once again visit our Italian friend at the end of the island (one we prepared this good coffee).

And Hongrie, we talk again many of us. The press people praise my series of articles and poisons that competitors. I want to leave the debate to organize (probably in March).

Last night, I read your manuscript to Mrs G. The first and the third part we liked a lot. The middle (presentation, a bit too long, Congress) could be shortened. I am delighted with the entire agreement of our views on Jung and Adler. I propose small changes in the accompanying notes. The comparison between the total reflection 2 harmonics and cultural (3) is beautiful.

Greetings from your

Ferenczi and Mrs. G.

P.-S. Not to delay the dispatch of the letter, I send notes afterwards I still have to put net.

[En-tête III Berlin], the 17 February [1914]

Dear Professor,

Sending you the transcript of my remarks during our discussion on the mysteries of Berlin with the resurrection Zurich1, I want to leave you to decide whether it would be justified to add to criticism of Ferenczi, Abraham, Rank and Sachs my own contribution (for example, in Zeitschrift)2.

With one exception undecided about3, our local group is totally unanimous refuse Jung.

With warmest wishes for your totally dedicated

M. Eitingon

1. The 11 February, Abraham wrote to Freud (F/A, p. 160) : "There is a few weeks", that is to say the 17 January, "We had a meeting of our group, with four presentations on case Jung " (see Corr.). Eitingon participated with a contribution to "On the unconscious in Jung and his turn to ethics" (1914a). A point of criticism was the attempts by the Zurich group to transform the "Oedipus complex pagan Christian symbolism of the resurrection" (p. 103).

2. The first issue of the 2and year (1914) Release of the Zeitschrift was a number anti-Zurich, with critical texts by Ferenczi, Abraham, Jones, etc. (p. 62- 87 ; see also Ferenczi 1913). Contribution Eitingon (1914a) was also ac-cepted. When Ferenczi read the text on the events, he wrote to Freud (F/Fer 1/2, p. 290) : "The surprisingly strong polemic against the sabotage of the concept of the unconscious was a surprise to me. "Rank and Sachs also wanted to publish an article in the Jahrbuch debate entitled" What psychoanalysis? "Which was then removed. Voir Schröter (1995a, including p. 526 and notes 22).

Cher Ami,

Today, two new. Start with the least important. I finished "History ψα movement" and I am ready to send as soon as you will express the wish. You will have the goodness to send the packet to Abraham, safely, because I can not rewrite it - and send me your criticisms separately, reservations and proposals on the form and substance, so that I can use for correction. It was hard work, you know the first part.

Secondly : Send a sudden Jelgersma article rectorial speech for 339and Birthday * the famous Leiden University, called ontgeweten (Ics) Spiritual Life **. I try to understand, I see he is talking about The Interpretation of Dreams - And he is benevolent. The next, a newspaper Renterghem 2, with a long excerpt of this article; and then a letter confirming that Abraham J.[Elgersma] expressed, without the slightest reluctance, for us and ψα, and he dreams of making translations, etc. Finally a letter from the author himself that I join (for the shortest time possible) and confirms the real miracle. Think so, Official psychiatrist, discours rectoral, ψα from head to toe! What surprises await us!

Heller wants to write him and let him publish a German edition of Pet[its] Written. Friday 20 This month will be, home, an evening formal Moses (3), during which will decide the fate of this risky business (Heller, Rank, Sachs and the artist who gave me very good drawings). Too bad you're in Budapest.

At the moment your telegram reached me with the request of the manuscript. So I will send tomorrow. Letter Jelgersma, I read Wednesday at the Association. Work on the seen ***, you requested, is only a small trifle. Do you want to do something this year for Easter (12 April)? Maybe back to Arbe, that must be a very beautiful season more advanced? If all goes well in Hamburg, my-mars4 deadline, I am ready. Would you take that small 5? It's fun, you know also from Pordoijoch. In this very moment, it is a little feverish for weeks, for no apparent reason, does not feel good and gives me worries 6. Sincerely

your Freud

15-02-1914 Jones to Freud

15 February 1914

69 Portland Court, London

Dear Professor Freud,

You should have received my long letter, with attachments, just after sending yours. You are exceedingly good to me if constantly, but I would not waste your time or overwhelm you so undue burdens, and I want you to feel as free as you please in this regard. Especially it is necessary during concentration on important work, and I'm glad to hear that you attach so much interest in the article Yearbook, to be his-toric and landmark, and enter at this point in detail1.

I'm sorry to hear that again found pus in the urine Loe, like the good old days. We always thought a pyelitis of the left side, but the last operation showed nothing visible to the naked eye in the renal pelvis (which has been thoroughly examined), and we hoped that it was therefore Benin, in any case it did not explain a small part of the pain. I wonder if it will jump from Paris to London ? Herbert will he consult the lawyer about the fiction of marriage2, or is this an absurdity swept? I'd like her wedding plans, etc., when they are finalized, which, j’imagine, is not yet the case.

I want to know the reason why you give me this personal advice about women at this time ? I will not say that it was useless, for I see the dangers of complacency in my area, but, sincerely, I think I have become a very different man during the last two years - at least in terms of the practical question of mastery and self-knowledge. I stay in touch with Ferenczi about my analysis, and I was able to bring her good news every time.

We had a meeting on Thursday, where Bryan presented the case on which he had sent you some notes ; it provoked a good discussion. Forsyth and his men are promising. Hart was also present, but hardly participated. Constance Long was there, return five weeks of "analysis" with Jung; she said there have been a lot of fun (Have fun a true analysis, this is a shame !). The case, you remember, was that of a man who managed all, but who had a sexual fixation on masochistic fantasies which left him no desire to have sex with women. We learned that the true explanation was that he hid in his "job" - have a house of his own instead of pantoufler, and he hid feigning helplessness, was purely symbolic and had a secondary meaning ! ! She has been foolish from start to finish and so Jung repeated like a parrot that can do good in the eyes of discrediting undecided as Eder and Hart.

Sachs was excited by a passage of H. G. Wells, I enclose, and contain most of your theory of taboo. I know that Wells got there three years ago, bringing together the writings of Darwin, Frazer, Robertson Smith, and other, but it does not measure the extent of its accidental discovery. It is never further evidence of the inevitability of your theory.

The British Medical Journal this week contained no more letters on the PsA, but an account of the new review of Jelliffe, in which they welcomed the conversion of Jung as a "return to a more healthy life3 ». Our opponents are on his relapse diagnosis more accurate than himself and his followers. The passage, Did you read the note in penetrating Stekel Zentralblatt [of October4] December? "It is as fine as spiteful revenge, the young to the [Wiener] School takes, he Sadger as the sole representative “train[in]bre-responding Viennese School” parading in the yearbook can (5). "But he is too polite when he adds," Are gehört dies in das der Kapitel “aconscious malice”6."I was very upset by the report that Stekel has made some of my articles7. It has changed each citation, to the point of making absurd or outrageous ; and "a possible cause" it becomes "the main cause", etc. In a report, he quotes a paragraph full of ten lines, reportedly taken from my article, but I've never written or seen anywhere. I thought he write an open letter of protest, but I abandoned the project (it cost me a lot), pen-ing that it is better to ignore the issue. I guess it would also be your attitude ?

Side work, the situation is excellent. One of my patients has gone, his case does not lend, another because she had finished, but I still have six hours per day, with materials exceedingly interesting. I feel much more confident and able to work than ever before, I believe and succeed. A case of manic-depressive typical projects more light on this state. Everything happens, in my eyes, as if there was no such disease, certain cases involving psychoneurosis, others paraphrenia (particularly, of paranoia), the primacy of affective symptoms replacing other distortion mechanisms (as sometimes happens in dreams). But I'll get longer again.

Sincere friendships

Faithfully to you

15.2.14.

Cher ami,

It seems that the case is a great thing Jelgersma. I had already received, by Renterghem, before your letter, brochures and a copy of the newspaper. I received the following day a letter from him, which confirms everything that you tell, and is very friendly. Here is a psychiatrist who swallows Official psychoanalysis Ugly! What do not we see!

I will send you a letter as soon as Ferenczi has sent me and it has been read Wednesday. Heller intends to write and push for a German edition. The text would not be appropriate at all for the Zeitschrift, since it does not, I believe, an inch beyond the’ Interpretation of Dreams. I just finished, there was one hour, the manuscript of "Contributions to the history of the Psychoanalytic Movement". They are en route to Budapest and they will succeed since there, as a first contribution to the Jahrbuch from me. The work was difficult. I have nothing else to tell you that the well-known words : Courage Casimiro! If you will send me your comments and corrections, I promise you will be very grateful. Ferenczi do the same.

Our plans for this summer are at zero. We are no longer a family, more than three old people. Even my young child wants to go this year alone in England, your wife remembers certainly. We still do not know what a revolution the newcomer is expected to bring Hamburg 1.

With cordial greetings to you and yours, Your faithful

Dear Professor,

Everything seems to be going well for the Jahrbuch; I hope that the writers quickly deliver their work. The report has already reached Sadger. I myself am still in the "drive to see", I hope to have finished in a week or two; I then put my account.

We had, there a few weeks, very satisfactory meeting of our group, which included 4 Jung reports on the case. There reigns the most comprehensive agreement.

Today, in this dark time, a ray of light. Renterghemthe sent me a newspaper which is a detailed account of the rectorial speech Jelgersma, psychiatrist Leiden, which focused on the unconscious 2. As you may- be unaware, I'll talk briefly : J.

(N.B. : the most prominent psychiatrists Dutch) accept in their entirety the dream theory and the theory of neurosis, it considers major acquisitions, it also takes fully advantage of the sexuality, and speaks to finish strong impression made on him the rediscovery of the Oedipus complex. A very thorough, one somme, approval and without restrictions or clauses. I just sent Ferenczi a short extract from the minutes of Holland, and I asked him to ask Jelgersma allow the translation of his speech to the Zeitschrift.

It remains for me to greet you cordially hastily, of famile to family.

Cher Ami,

Here, I had dinner and I learned writing by Rank that you had written criticizing the latest manifestation of Jung. Your causticity made me very happy. Our number is critical and rich content, unfortunately, printing has not started.

I can only, for you and for Hungary, public discussion of your project. Your temperament and your repartee guarantee perfectly the outcome. The public interest in the psychoanalytic declines probably also in Russia, Poland, etc., where it was not properly

established during the first period of invasion. It's not like Germany and America.

I would be delighted if you could bring your friend to try out for the two drawings of Moses. Those of Miss Wolf (1) unsatisfactory. The engraver Max Pollak, who "chisel engraved" my portrait Heller (2), has now promised to provide these drawings also. But that should not hold you back. My hesitations are not overcome and I certainly shall prevent the publication if the designer can not compete effectively, this is- ie, first, convince me.

I write, with great zeal, "History of the psychoanalytic movement." I hope to have worked quite well on Sunday Jung, and thus closed the chapter. Two- I send the manuscript first? He would then return it to me with your comments, so he can go, via Vienna, par Hitschmann, by Abraham.

Health and consultations going well at the moment. At home, almost everything is in order about. At the end of the month, when the work will be started, you should again visit us here. Loe is much wiser, moreover, she has left pyelitis (3) confirmed, and its share of real pain; a CAS mixte, it is always unpleasant. The presence of the new Jones (4), she must marry in May, him good.

Sincerely, Madame G. also,

your Freud
