Budapest, the 9 February 1914

Dear Professor,

Despite your incentive to return to work now peaceful, I could not help but respond as it should in this article Jung, an insolence and a claim unsurpassed (See Archives of Psych.[ologie]). I sent the critical Rank, pour la magazine^the.

After years of honeymoon which psychoanalysis has enjoyed in Budapest, it now appears that the resistance becomes more serious. This is the output of Apathy that prompted the League of Social Sciences to return to the idea floated last year, but refused by me at this time : give voice to the supporters and opponents of a public discussion Psycha. I still owe them the answer; I had decided to refuse new, and I'd still, if the arguments of my friend I had not Ignotus somewhat shaken. I.[gnotus] believes that we should not reject the offer abruptly Society of Social Sciences (the only circle which we can expect some support and, in case of brutal attacks, we defend). If I refuse, I think it scrolls, which could affect more the reputation of psychoanalysis, already bad also, etc…

Finally, I relented to the point of being ready to start the discussion, the following conditions :

I can not, a priori, recognize any of those interested more or less in psychoanalysis as followers of Freudian psychoanalysis, fault of their views on matters of detail of the questions that interest us. I consider myself today (until further notice) as the only, here, who understand and practice psychoanalysis in your direction. One, therefore, we want to discuss on Freudian psychoanalysis, that gives me the right to respond immediately to each intervention.

Without pretending to think that this discussion has merit (a) to serve something or even to persuade or would undermine- this one between, I do wish, however, not excluded that I can take opponents by the horns and semi-opponents, psychoanalysts wild and tame (a new category) and I am able to demonstrate coram publicum (b) nature of fools and their ignorance, which, ultimately, after so many years of silence, would do me good, me too,

But I expect, to meet, you tell me what you think about this project. I do not want to be dragged into mindless action.

What you wrote again on the "déjà vu" *** ² ? I am very curious to hear.

I look forward to the correction of Moïse and I hope my friend will prove Berény best designer that protected Heller (3).

My dear Jones,

I understand that you complain of not receiving letters from me. The truth is that I'm writing and working every hour of freedom to the article on the ψα movement to appear in the Yearbook. I've made good progress. I settled his account in the first swindler today, and hopes to finish with the other Sunday. So far, I filled 60 large pages ⁽¹⁾.

The strike is over, you will soon see that presses running again. Our interest to leave our critical number.

In the case of Moses, I become negative, the last artist I consulted showed me how artists proceed in the matter and made me fear an overly trench. The meaning is not of great importance to these gentlemen, they only care line, of form, matching contours. They give the Lustprinzip. I prefer caution.

News Loe. She became more reasonable and accessible to ψα since the arrival of Davy⁽²⁾. Their marriage can be arranged. Together, the problem is solved. Kaufmann found a good deal of pus in his urine and was diagnosed pyelitis of the left side. She has fever. His case is mixed ; comforted by the concession of organic disease, she no longer denies the hys-theria additional. As she going through a bad patch, it is not progressing in the renunciation of morphine. She will spend two weeks in Paris with him to find his brother in Chicago. The treatment of kidney begin to return, if possible. On the nervous, this is a very nice case, everything is explained by his relationship with his mother.

I have a little progress on the issue of sado-masochism and the castration complex, I want a key point in the mechanism of the neuroses. The choice of subject sex. may be influenced by sex of parent forbidding, opposite thereto ; and therefore, early sexual inhibition may even have a big part in determining the homosex ⁽³⁾. I beg you to keep these things for you, and your own work.

This. censeo (4): Be careful with women and do not waste this life time.

Hamill (Chicago) has announced the 12 March. I received a letter from Bryan a case of horse masochist, with good marks. I advised him to keep the treatment, although treatment options are thin. Now again I deserve your good news

You faithfully Freud

Dear Professor Freud,

First, regarding the joint extracts. It is (1) translation of Sappho to the loved object, which nicely illustrates the relationship between Libido and Angst describing the symptoms of a Angstanfall, (2) an excerpt from an interesting press exposing design Hamlet, and (3) correspondence of the ψα published to date in the British Medical Journal, key letters are marked with a cross in the margin. Would you be kind enough to return the? You will see that the para-noïaque Mercier, son ⁽¹⁾ a French father who defended the "purity of English spirit" and abhors everything that comes from the continent, is stuffed into a hornet's nest. The four letters this week, including Stoddart, Director of Bethlem Asylum and well-known psychiatrist, are favorable. The editor, however, rejected a letter from Eder (I wrote) which merely contest the citations made by Maeder and Mercier was written with great suavity. Generally, therefore, the situation is quite good, and any fair play has not gone of old England⁽²⁾.

No news from you for a long time, I was wondering if there were further complications with Loe, that would require some time to adapt. I'm glad to hear it gets better, but I am anxious to know what happened, if Herbert Jones is still there, what they decided, if it comes to London, etc. She did not write at all.

I'm glad you liked Louis, I was afraid that you will not find too obvious. It interested me a historical perspective, and as a demonstration of contributions that can bring ψα historical problems, but perhaps on a psychiatric (paranoia against hypochondria).

Jung sent a circular, and we all vote at our meeting next Thursday. In Journal oj Mental Science October seems a very remarkable account of the trial Wandlungen Jung, signed by a certain Alexander Neuer (unknown to me, and that is not in the directory of doctors)⁽³⁾. This is a follower of Adler, he traces Jung Adler (not a historical perspective) and it is very insightful about "the veiled attack, but wild "Jung against you. If you want, I could get a copy of the magazine.

I discovered that the three stages of mental development of mankind according Count (we vainly sought last year) stages are religious, metaphysical and positivist: Your originality is no begun. The complete series animism, mythology, religion, philosophy, science, it omits the first two, – characteristics of its period ! I'm overwhelmed from all sides, and am delighted to learn that the same applies to you. What are you writing now ? I hope I did not bore you too.

Sincere friendships,

Faithfully and cordially

Jones.

The only good news : strike ¹ ended, you can go. If anything, except that I write, I always write ², and I do not have time for this.

This morning, Magnus Hirschfeld was there, and at noon we expect van Eeden (3) who gave a lecture here with Heller and Rank.

Your bragging about your health and your second edition touch me so nice.

Budapest, the 29 January 1914

Dear Professor,

I hope to start here a series of letters in which it will not matter disease (I mean, my own disease).

The only notable event that I can mention since my return, is the speech of Professor Apathy ¹ (Apathy of neurofibrillary) against psychoanalysis. He took the head of the "eugenics movement" and for this reason is unleashed against psychoanalysis as qu'égarement panérotique of the Jewish mind. Some liberal newspapers have reacted to this attack, defending the Jews, shows the "grain of truth" in your teaching, and warned against the identification between psychoanalysis and Judaism.

Critics of my collection of articles ² will emerge in the coming weeks ; they are favorable, because I did not send copies of press my opponents predictable.

To the prosecutor, the contradictions between the two types of women appear, eneffet,s'estomper. Aware of his predilection for the Jews and secret

antipathy towards them are., in my opinion, closely related to the castration complex.

I treat a case of impotence for a year and a half : I am more sure you can connect to a building sadistic-anal. In coitus, the patient sees (Ics) 1) an act of cruelty, 2) of incontinence (but not urethral anal). It retains the sperm, as a normal individual feces. The patient has long suffered from incontinentia alvi [1]. It is incredibly reserved, he does not let himself "go" in any way.

One of his brothers was interned for life for a murder committed in a state of excitement. Two other brothers are more or less powerless. One of his cousins (an anal character evident) is the same man impotent for which Stekel and I did one day consultation.

I am eager to have new.

Sincerely yours F.ferenczi]

L Istvan Apathy (1863-1922). Professor of histology, zoologist, but also a poet and film-letoniste. Founding member of the Hungarian Society of Social Sciences. At the meeting of 24 The 1914 (constitution of a section of eugenic), Apathy attacked the "worldview wormy" Freud, describing it as "a representative panérotisme Semitic". Géza Szilagyi said the attack â Apathy in the newspaper Az Ujsag (The Journal) (« Freud és Apathy»), the 11 and 12 March.

69 Portland Court, London

Dear Professor Freud,

I note therefore that we should vote for Dresden if we are given the opportunity. Our group can not be legally integrated into the Vereinigung before Congress does not accept, I guess, for the time being, we have not the right to vote, but I ask Eder, Secretary, who knows better than me with Jung, to write to this. But I guess the vote will be "crossed", and thus will not represent the relative strength of the two parties.

My attitude, on both occasions, I do not think so incoherent that, obviously, it seemed you. Both times, I wish dissolution, if you can get safely, but I see a big difference between a minority group trying to impose a time when nothing happens, and exploring possibilities when the other side asks Congress. Rest your remarks on reviews made me a strong impression, because it would force a decision inevitably more than any suggestion at the present time.

What you say about the state of Loe saddens me, but I guess it is partly due to his state of mind while she waits Herbert Jones. I look forward to what comes out of his visit, if they come to London, etc., I count on you to inform me, since I do not write for the moment.

As for the very vague about my own wedding, I definitely follow your advice, taking the time to think and choose calmly, advice that I feel at once wise and necessary. The idea, of course, came to me several times recently, which is natural in the circumstances (installation, etc.), but I understand that I should become more «Ready» [accomplished] in the analysis of my own mental processes before I venture to link my fate to someone else.

You ask me about Moses. One of the reasons why I hope you will sign, is that, that you do or not, authorship of the text emerge quite clearly the style and content, and if you do not, the Zurich will surely wonder what it all means, etc.

I have a strange case today, close enough to the case of hysterical paranoia Bjerre¹. An old daughter 45 years old believes the vicar of the parish and her sister make inappropriate comments to the pleasure of seeing her blush, at the instigation of his mother, he hinted to her of the pulpit, and another man does not want to meet her because he thinks she is in love with him ; a brother suffering from paraphrenia. All this is very similar to the paranoia, with sharp projections, but, after months of analysis, I'm sure this is just hysterical. It reacts to the analysis as a hysterical ordinary (report, no abnormal male intuition, etc.) and has been some progress.

Something unpleasant is happening here. Haberdasher, psychiatrist deemed, sent to British Medical Journal, a letter vulgar and offensive, to protest against the "phallic worship" and "pornography" of "Freudianism"². Unfortunately, this is unwelcome opponent, because he has nothing else to do (being retired) that conduct polemics, and he has such a complex Dispute [complex quarrelsome] or such Querulous delusion [mania deplore] it usually ends up exhausting his opponents who have less time, and again it is unscrupulous and dishonest, it distorts the words and phrases to make puns, not caring in the least to discover the truth; it also has a good pen uncommon and no lack of spirit, all things that allow always "put the nail" his opponents, especially when it can excite prejudice in his favor.

I went to see Eder, who had already written a letter implausible (ψα was the largest Mount Pisgah³ centuries, etc.) who had moved to this area and would excites the polemical verve Mercier. We talked about this and decided to wait a week, to see if someone else wrote, in one camp or the other, and otherwise, let this story fade into oblivion it deserves. We will certainly soon new opportunities controversy, and probably more favorable, or at least less degrading. Yet if someone else takes up the challenge of Mercier, or take a written defense, we must intervene. What do you think of all this ?

I worked tirelessly and I translated nearly half of the texts Ferenczi⁴.

Abraham attend ma contribution to Yearbook the end of February, but I do not think it is possible⁵.

Faithfully to you

Jones.

Dear Professor,

In answer to your questions :

1. Eitingon (from what he told me himself) was in Vienna for the first time in late January 1907.
2. The’ "Freudian Association" must have held its first meeting in mid-year 1907. Myself, I made a presentation during one of the first meetings (on sexual trauma) which was published in November 1907; I had to decide by the end of summer.

3. It is difficult to answer the third question. When I arrived at Burghölzli in December 1904, it was already interested in psychoanalysis. This interest grew rapidly during the period following. For the period prior, Here what is safe :

1. "The occult phenomena" (1902) de Jung, in which your interpretation of dreams is cited (p. 102).
2. The analysis of Jung attempted on patient B. St., published in the appendix to the "psychology of dementia praecox".
3. Several studies conducted by the Association had already been published.
4. Hysteria was analyzed by Jung (in 1904, certainly).

I guess a very strong interest in psychoanalysis was born probably in 19o3, but perhaps only 1904.

I address my cordial greetings haste. Yours

Abraham.

Budapest, the 15 January 1914

Dear Professor,

I'm afraid not to be presentable for a visit on Sunday and not being able to enjoy your Sunday table, Saturday and Sunday because I will still have to undergo (in two steps) small interventions on my olfactory organ well abused. But I may be sufficiently recovered Sunday evening to chat with you a few hours. I think I will not undertake my return trip on Monday afternoon - a man quite well with, I hope.

My consulting work well. I am employed full-time. I just started (there three days) Analysis of a typical masochistic, a man of value, very intelligent (prosecutor), who came to me indirectly on your board. A lady (a young widow) who loves him and he would really love too, went one day you advice and you led me on the patient. (The lady was not aware that impotence, not masochism.)

It's funny how differently we hear the history of the disease and patients according to the complaint that was, or, informed in advance of the context. This is for us patient complaints as material dreams : you never know at first if they are to be taken in the positive or negative direction. Yet, it happens all too often tell patients that the opposite of what is true in the unconscious rather than part of the actual perception of themselves. If you know the structure of a neurosis, is separated from the first interview the chaff (perception of self-) from the chaff (reaction formation). If you are not yet educated, we tend not to believe the patient at all.

The masochistic patient begins his story with the fact that deep down he was never in love with women with whom he was engaged in masochistic manipulations. For example, the woman with whom he has now been more than ten years a relationship of this kind, it (sentimentally) quite foreign. It performs the act masochist (nates at oscula) * * as a duty officer, once a week " (ipsissima verba) **, and then a cumshot. But if a woman really loves, he can not even imagine the masochistic act with her - by cons, there is, en face d'elles (of these women), completely inhibited for intromission and ejaculation (not entirely for the erection). This is a striking confirmation of your theory of masochism, that the masochist is subject, precisely, the unloved person (to repel the threat of castration that it came from such a person). - You told me, at the time that, your experience, the masochistic homosexual was once threatened by the father, the masochist by heterosexual mothers But we can also imagine a case (Perhaps it is there a) where masochistic tendencies develop in respect of a certain type and powerlessness in relation to the other type of the same sex (when, for example, the boy met a friendly welcome with a wife and a cruel threat from another, it could, later, become impotent with women loving people, but develop against women like severe stress masochist).

The second dream of my patient brought an even stronger confirmation of your hypothesis (It goes without saying that I still give him absolutely no explanation, but I let him talk uninterrupted). He dreamed he was gone, recovered, the cure with me and my assistant and I had said that his case was unique; it was the first case was recognized as masochism (?). He does not remember the word in place of the question mark, there are two expressions which he does not remember. The first idea is : obligatio faciendi ***, second, easement!!. **** ². Therefore, two legal terms, whose second, particularly, which means both serfdom, submission, has hitherto been characteristic of masochism in this sense; but will, from now, also be interpreted in the sense of Roman law, namely as the duty to support the intervention of a third person on my property.

Dear Professor,

Is it possible that I could take cognizance of the letter Bjerre, which you spoke (must in all cases be held in generalities). I would refer you naturally soon. If you think this request intrusive, I apologize and considered null and void. I would still like to know where to place Bjerre, in particular with respect to Zurich. We do not fit ²⁶.

All these things, which are the subject of your current work, are particularly present in my mind and occupy more than one. This year will undoubtedly bring clarity and a fresh and joyous war!
