Dear friend and colleague,

This time you have spoiled me. You do not really hold to provide energy. The time after Easter suits me very well, even better than the date of the meeting is closer to two days of Easter ⁽¹⁾ themselves. If you choose rather Innsbruck Salzburg, the first of the two cities is undoubtedly the most beautiful and most comfortable, we should expect no trouble from me, because there is only 6 hour fast train to Salzburg. I am also ready to retire yet personally should you believe anyway, the best thing happen in my absence - for which there would be some good reasons. My presidency will certainly not. That's no good. Bleuler is or which must be at the head; differentiation, division of roles!

The company of the newspaper makes me actually even more fun, this is a vital issue for our trends.

Jensen I received the following response to my questions; it shows on the one hand as he is reluctant to support such research, But let the other sense that reports are more complicated than simple scheme can not represent. The question principale, whether the approach of the original image people had something pathological, he did not respond at all. I transcribe his letter, because it is barely legible without a magnifying glass : After an introduction, treatment that excuses "lapidary" of my questions, the dit :

"I do not. I have not had a sister, and even no parent inbred. It is nevertheless true that The Red Umbrella is woven of memories of my life, my first childhood love for a childhood friend who grew up in a certain intimacy with me and died of consumption at the age of eighteen; and - many years later - in the person of a girl with whom I had established friendly relations and was also removed by sudden death. The "red umbrella" comes from the latter. In the poem, I felt the two figures, to some extent, be merged into one ; the mystical element, which is mainly expressed in the poems, also has its origin in the second girl. The new Childhood dreams [Youthful dreams] my collection Aus make * (2) Time [-A quiet time], flight. II, based on the same basis, but is limited to the first. — In the Gothic house [In Gothic home] invention is a perfectly free ( !) »

Abraham stayed with us from Sunday to Wednesday. Nicer than you have described, but something inhibited, nothing involving. At large, it can not find the right word. He talked a lot about Bleuler, which apparently holds strong as a problem

I cordially greet you and wish you a Merry Christmas,

Your D^r Freud.

Honored Professor!

You are quite mistaken if you believe heavily that we will waive your presence in Innsbruck or Salzburg. On the contrary, we hope and expect to be able to serve under your chairmanship. It is proposed to hold the congress after congress psychologists Frankfurt (1) after the 20 April (I unfortunately can not remember the exact date at this time). I hope this time will not be too inconvenient for you. To facilitate the participation, it is best to limit the meeting to an evening and a day, so that all participants, even the most remote, do not stay more than three days away from work. Once you have answered me if this date is your approval, I will submit specific proposals to alleged participants.

I am currently in negotiations for the establishment of a review, I'd like to ensure wide dissemination. It must become international, because we must emancipate the German market, as far as possible. I relaterai this later, Once I have the results farms.

Claparède will take a long time in a certain reserve, because there is no material. It is actually a psychologist. But his benevolent neutrality is ensured.

Excuse, please, the brevity of this letter. I am very busy.

Your fully committed

Young.

Honored Professor!

Last night I went to Amsterdam and am again in a better condition to consider my experiences with the prospect of Congress spatial and temporal distance. Before you try to paint the events that followed, I thank you from my heart for your letter, which came just at the right time, because it was then a blessing for me to feel that I was fighting not only for a great discovery, but also a great man worthy of veneration. The recognition of the facts slowly or quickly, or we fight them, it can leave me pretty cold, but the real manure is poured on everything that does not fit, this is disgusting. One thing I've eaten in quantity unheard in the Congress, it is up to the contempt of the genus homo sapiens nausea.

Discussion of my presentation accidentally came prematurely to an end did not take place until the next, although there was no real reason for the return. Bezzola a pris the words of the Prime Minister, to "protest" against you, against me and against the doctrine of sexual hysteria (accents underlying moral !). An hour ago, I tried to get along with him, only, amicably - not. It does not envy you that you write books, or your income, what can make us die of laughter or rage. Nothing but rabid affect, without logical basis, against you and me.

It is then Alt ⁽¹⁾ of Uchtspringe announced that terrorism against you, namely, that never again a patient to a physician for treatment Freudian tendency - lack of awareness - crap - etc.. Strongest applause and congratulations going to the speaker are those of P^r Pull ⁽²⁾, Berlin. Then came Sachs ⁽³⁾ Breslau, who said some very large rubbish, we can not repeat; also violently applauded. Janet can not remember to note that he also has heard your name. It is true that knows nothing of your teaching, but he is convinced that everything is nonsense. Heilbronner Utrecht is only questionable as "elements of your doctrine ⁽⁴⁾ "Experiences of association. He found that everything I was exposed to this subject illusion, not to mention Freud. Aschaffenburg was not present at the discussion, so I decided not to conclude. However, before, Frank Zurich spoke strongly for you, Gross well Graz, which has also extensively explained, section in the psychological, the signi-fication of your theory, insofar as it affects the secondary function ⁽⁵⁾. Damage that G[ross] is such a psychopath; it is a strong intellect and he, with its secondary function, gained influence psychologists. I talked a lot with him and I saw qv'il is a zealous partisan of ideas. After the discussion, le Privy Binswanger, Jena, qu'Aschaffenburg told me he had said before his lecture that he need (B[inswanger]) assistance during the discussion ! You will recall that in my last letter I told you about lapses of Afschaffenburg]. Another slip, I have experienced retrospectively, was : "Breuer and I ayons » c.-à-d. "Breuer and Freud have ". All this fits very nicely for my diagnosis. Besides his absence the next day was due to a judicial summons that he could not return. Yes A[schaffenburg] there was, I would have absolutely told the truth again. The others were too stupid.

To my great surprise, He was among a young English man from London, D^r Jones ⁽⁶⁾ (a Celt Wales!), who knows very well written and your work itself psychoanalytically. You will probably visit later. He is very intelligent and could perhaps provide a day of good work.

Oppenheim ⁽⁷⁾ Binswanger and are in a state of benevolent neutrality, but both show opposition to sexuality. Despite the current opposition, excessively large, I acquired consoling certainty that your ideas penetrate slowly but surely from several sides, precisely because they do not release anyone who has once accepted.

Janet is a vain, even if it is a good observer. What he says and is now simply sterile. What else happened at the congress is, as usual, unimportant. I could once again see plenty that psychiatry, no ideas, is on the decline, This is already the case in Kraepelin. The anatomy and classification attempts were still above, or "ways annexes", that lead nowhere.

I hope that your health will recover completely soon. In these circumstances of course I dare not insist on my desires, but I rejoice much to hope to see you during the Christmas holidays.

Maybe then I express on this occasion a desire designed long repressed but always : I'd love to have a photograph, but as I've known you, and not as you were there for years. I have already expressed this desire your wife to Vienna. But it seems to me that something is falling back into oblivion. Would you have the great goodness to fulfill perhaps once? I would be extremely grateful, as always happens from time to time that I need your picture.

With best regards and wishes, Your most devoted

Young.

Dear friend and colleague.

While the "complex" because of you - I'm not sure what -, I rejoice with you new really interesting, alongside which I can not place equivalent. Congress in Salzburg in spring 1908 ren-Drait me proud; I suppose, however, that you do not be inviting me, as annoying. D^r A-sent so far - even if it is not for me - an enthusiastic description and finely observed, I think he, how you appear to the association of Zurich. Your English is very friendly to me because of his nationality; I expect that the British abandon this cause more once they have recognized. I have less confidence in the French, but in fact they are in Geneva Switzerland. The test Claparède the definition of hysteria ⁽¹⁾ leads to a very comprehensive judgment on the efforts so far; the idea of ​​a multi-storey building comes from Breuer (in the general section of Studies) ⁽²⁾; the building itself, however, should have another look, and in Claparède not plan on longer if he had questioned the patients instead of unnecessary authors. The work is, however, a progress; refutation of the "suggestion" was very necessary. After your visit we have learned, I hope, to take into account all sorts of things that still fails today.

In the table of contents of a new journal, Folia neurobiological (3), I found, my joy, a presentation : «Jung, Freud's theory of hysteria '. I opened to the appropriate page and I found reality - a line. After this traumatic printing, I excluded from the subscription to the new "central body".

I wait for next Sunday's visit of Abraham comes from Berlin.

The last week was spent preparing for me and writing a lecture I then made the 6 this month in a small room at the publisher Heller ⁽⁴⁾, to about ninety people. This took place without incident, which is enough; for many poets and their ladies ç'aura been a heavy meal. Overall it was just an appetizer, for an appetite. The New Observations ensured the conference state still fetal, she will probably be reproduced. It was still a foray into an area that we had so far barely scratched, on which we could establish conveniently. I notice that I forgot to tell you the title of the conference! It is therefore called : The poet and the production of fan tasmes ⁵, there was more a question of the production of fantasies that the poet; next time we will restore the balance.

Rejoice from you soon Sincerely your dedicated

D^r Freud

Honored Professor!

Last Tuesday I had the association of doctors my presentation ⁽¹⁾ almost half past one on your research, and he was received with great applause. Over a hundred doctors were present. Person, but two impor-tant neurologists, who straddled the workhorse of morality, has opposed.

Our meeting yesterday of the association was held Freudian pleasantly and with animation. P^r Bleuler opened the session with some burlesque and wanted to relate to those who criticize you. Von Monakow ⁽²⁾ was also pre-feels, and of course reported to the person in his, which greatly amused all insiders. We see what can make the suggestion mass - there were 25 people - Monakow has been little. This time the opposition has resulted in deadlock. Whether it is a good omen. D^r A - was also present. It operates a little neurosis.

The past five days I've had in my D^r Jones (3) Lon-don, a young man very talented and active; it was mainly to talk with me about your research. Because of its splendid isolation ⁽⁴⁾ London, it has not yet penetrated too deeply into your problems, but he is convinced of the necessity of your assertions theoretical. It will become a strong support of our cause; car, Also good qualities of mind, He has enthusiasm.

D^r Jones, supported by my friends Budapest, suggested the idea of ​​a congress supporters of Freud. This conference should be held in Innsbruck or Salzburg in spring, and be organized so that participants are not away from home more than three days, which should be able to do in Salzburg. D^r Jones believes that at least two people come from England; Switzerland it would at least some.

My presentation Amsterdam that, for reasons related to the complex, I always forgot to mention, must appear in the Monthly fiir Psychiatry and Neurology. I still have it on a little lime.

This week I'm going to Geneva; this is the second university where your ideas will not find rest.

Receive the most cordial greetings from your devoted entirely

Young.

The expression (sous sa forme adjectivale « splendidly isolated ») was first applied to the position of the British Empire against Europe by the Canadian politician Sir George Foster, the 16 January 1896. The forms of "splendid isolation", the recovery 26 February 1896 par Lord Goschen, quickly became popular. Freud uses to describe his own situation (letter to Fliess 7 may 1900, in The Birth of Psychoanalysis).

Dear friend and colleague,

I am writing today to something personal. These next few days will make you a D^r A —, lawyer, who wants to study national economy in Zurich, gifted man who has spent his entire life in very deep trouble, and was brilliantly presented through psychoanalytic treatment of one of my colleagues, D^r Spring (1). It will ask you for permission to attend meetings of your association, if possible in any way; because his interest was not extinguished with his recovery. He hopes that you will not designate anyone as old patient, welcomes and probably more generally to say a few words with you. His sister is being treated at home with access hysterical : simultaneous analysis of the brother-sister pair has delivered all sorts of valuable confirmations. A short path leads from there to the two preparatory degrees Materials you overdrafts. You're certainly right. I would not even decide with certainty whether this is really a sister died young, or if Jensen has never had a sister and raised a playmate at the forefront of sister always wanted. The best would be to question, but his latest information was so vague that I can not decide. The reading was very informative. All ingredients Materials are found in The Red Umbrella, l'ambiance de midi, flower graves, butterfly, be forgotten, Finally, even the ruin. Even the improbability factor, too great match reality with the fantasy object is identical, the clearing in the forest is the same as in his memory, although the location is another, and the new love has the same as the old red umbrella. Some features of the Materials, we learn from this that they are the new basics of something more significant. And the scourge of the flies Materials, is accidental and only developed in comparison, comes from the bumblebee Red umbrella, that, by molesting, as messenger of the gods saves the hero's death. This news is written in a way abominably hard, but its meaning is very good. The objects of the love of men form series, One is the return of the other (Master of Palmyra) ², each and the revival of the infantile unconscious love, except that it must remain unconscious; when it is consciously awake, he holds prisoner libido, and the new one is not.

Should bring the first news about and : I lost, I can not forget and that is why I can not love in any other properly. The second -In the Gothic house - Simply expresses the idea : even if> she remained alive, I should lose, by marrying another (it can probably be the sister), and it is only the third, our Materials, completely overcomes pain, ensuring : I'll find, what in the old man can not be a presentiment of death and consolation in the Christian beyond, material presented in a quite contrary. In the two new, there is no trace of an indication of the "process" of Materials. In this, view casual relief must have caused a new awakening the memory of the dead. What do you think now of this bold construction : little sister was sick and always with the lame foot peak (3); later she died of tuberculosis. This element should be excluded by pathological fantasy, which enhances. But one day the grieving man's remarkable that, on the relief he met, that signs of illness as, foot peak, can be transformed into charm and advantage, and thus was completed the Materials, new triumph of fantasy that fulfills the wishes ⁽⁴⁾.

With cordial greetings,

Your D^r Freud.

Dear friend and colleague,

It is always for me a very encouraging start to the day when the mail brings an invitation to the meeting of your association with my name; Unfortunately time does not then generally I reach participate through the fast train. News about your internal events are reassuring to hear; transfer from the religiosity would seem particularly fatal; it could indeed be terminated by resignation, because of the general tendency of men to take ever new copies of the pictures they carry with them. So I will do my best to become known as unfit to serve as an object of worship, and you probably think I'm already. In my last letter, I was irritated and I slept badly; soon after, I got myself together and I said something similar to me your letter offers, to know that we have good reason to be satisfied. In addition we do not make the mistake of judging only after fermentation bubbles rising in the literature. The most decisive transformations do not necessarily relate to a particular publication express. One day you realize they are performed.

Publication of Binswanger, from a fortress of orthodoxy, be noticed in Germany despite the text peacemaker uncle accompanying. With this young man you have in any case made a brilliant pass. Do you think it is strong enough and durable to found his side a focus of infection?

Yesterday I received a job Warda ⁽²⁾, shot volume tributes to Binswanger sen. He's goodwill, which he has already demonstrated in previous works, but it seems quite private talent; it is those who, alone, percent did not advanced one iota, and thus the work made an impression miserable.

Imagine that I have not received the Nacke reprinted from work (3), although I have requested in the correspondence, any more than that of Aschaffenburg ⁽⁴⁾, But who sent me the first attack of politeness. However, I would much inconsolable if I did not point your conference congress in Amsterdam.

There is some time, a D^r Kutner ⁽⁵⁾ Breslau, formerly assistant Wernicke, wrote me that he wanted to come to Vienna seeking his first teaching Psycha. I told him honestly that I could set to provide actually teaching a short visit, and how it is not, and he no longer has waved since.

I must admit that I do not currently working; no doubt it I continue to work without interruption. The test on Riklin stories should now be corrected through. The Materials did not really aimed at all. The Seller boring me to wait two new Jensen!

Rejoice from you soon Sincerely your dedicated

D^r Freud.

Honored Professor!

Receive the most cordial thanks for your letter (1) who acted beneficial. You are right to rent the humor as the only appropriate response to the inevitable. That was my principle, until the repressed takes despite all the above, times only, fortunately. My religion is very strong once secretly created a compensation from you, that I had once taken in hand, and this was only possible on the path of communication. I wanted there to prevent trouble in my actions. But still I believe my humor, who will not abandon me to dangerous places. The common goal of the work provides a salutary counterweight and much heavier.

It would be great if you could choose Christmas, that is to say, the day after the second day of Christmas, for your visit to Zurich. You must not under any circumstances believe that your coming inconvenience in any way my boss; it will be "busy" as always, and will demonstrate to you an unusual scientific interest, that amazes any profane by the greatness of his modesty and humility. My boss is the most notable example of a very successful secondary character, a "worthy problem of sweat noblemen ⁽²⁾ ».

Easter is unfortunately a bit far; this is in fact the only reason that I prefer Christmas.

In Zeitsclirift for Sexology ⁽³⁾, writing seems to be of great importance. If " 175 »⁽⁴⁾ have the matter in hand, it does not guarantee its scientific. The me semble a priori suspect that you were not invited to collaborate. I still do not think that way is there to offer ideas. I believe that the path goes through flatter psychiatry. The progress of your case in Switzerland have taken this path, and given the limited time, the result is beautiful. I am also now known to exhibit the meaning of your teaching to society cantonal doctors. Currently the second doctor lunatic asylum Préfargier ⁽⁵⁾ is here to be initiated. D^r Jones was announced in London for the same purpose 20.XI. So it works as well as we could wish. If Germany wants to be left behind, others may well come to mind. By Binswanger their garlic-jun. writes that he will publish an analysis⁽⁶⁾made in the clinic of Jena with a preface by his uncle. This deserves a multiple question mark. But it would be very. What is certain now, is that the case did not fall asleep again. The worst, this is a cause to kill by silence. This stage should be overcome.

Get the best regards and many thanks for your entirely devoted

Honored Professor!

I fall into all the concerns of the patient treated analytically, because I am constrained to represent all the fears of the possible consequences of my confession. It is necessary that I give you a result that should interest you. You may remember that I told you a short dream I had when I was in Vienna. I was then unable to solve. You searched solution in the field of complex competition. I dreamed I saw you walking next to me in the form of an old man very old and fragile ⁽¹⁾. I was therefore deeply concerned from time to time, but without success. It was only after I've confessed my sorrow that the solution came (as usual). My dream reassures me about the +++ danger (2) you represent ! I could not get this idea at the time, of course not! I hope the gods of the underworld now leave me in peace with these annoyances.

I do not know if I tell you something new you in communicating the history of child Jensen is clear now. The solution lies in an extremely beautiful in new The Red Umbrella and In-house as Gothic ⁽³⁾. These two pieces are wonderful parallel to the Materials, going down to the smallest subtleties. The problem is the Vamour between brothers and sisters. Jensen was he a sister? I renounce you spread details. I would only spoil you the charm of discovery.

Je suis devenu pour mes mérites comme occultiste « honorary fellow of the American Society for Psychical Research ⁽⁴⁾ ». As such I am a bit busy again more occult phenomena. Your findings here are proven as the most brilliant. What do you think of this area?

It is my hope that the keenest you will come to Zurich for the Christmas holidays. I can certainly then welcome you as a guest in my house?

With best regards, Your most devoted
