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.

31. A hint - common - Freud about the feeling of Lou A. S. (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 I^b 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

in my old and faithful devotion Your M. Eitingon

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!

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.

Dear Madam,

My letter today - contrary to what you might think - does not refer to the slightest provocation you have attempted to introduce into yours. My brave Rank is responsible for sending bulk reprints and I proposed, after a suitable interval, ask you to make your criticism.

They are much nicer than I dared hope. But I guess there must be another side to the coin that you have not yet shown. Because this topic is not pleasant. Accuse and denounce, expose and redress, it is not a pleasant task and it is not part of these operations that I made with a special sympathy. Life means that one is sometimes forced to what we hate most in the world. I have managed to solve this by writing bounden duty somehow to myself, as representing the single instance and abstracting me as much as possible of a court whose favor I had to get. So I intentionally lavished profanity everyone, and, my close friends, I did not need to win my case, as many compliments as I wanted. But deep inside me stirs still need to know how the whole can be seen by a third person - a judge, man or woman -, and I confess that I had assigned this role.

Naturally, I also know that the opponents, the talkers and performers tendentious also fulfill an important mission : they accommodate material, also difficult to assimilate, the use of the digestive system of the mass, but there are not things that we confess aloud. I support the true fulfillment of this mission in the dirt cursing suffered by this object, is even, during this procedure.

With the hope that your health is good, I

Freud yours truly.

Cher Ami,

I write within the scope of the Sarajevo assassination surprising (1), whose consequences are quite unpredictable. It seems to me that the personal involvement takes place shortly.

And now, our business! I think you are too harsh on Jones. For example, there was not even necessary to distinguish between ego-libido and object libido and, more, this work is a circle of listeners specific. I will give you reason to a point : he speaks repeatedly of introversion ² where mean regression. This could well be accused. The essential : remarks on how a neurosis can hide another, or something serious, are also new qu'importantes. They come, if my memory does not deceive me, an "author unknown"³, told him that the case in question. It, you will not blame him, or in writing, or orally.

I think you are right to assume that your manuscript⁴ has exceptional importance. It is an attempt that promises much and that is an urgent need. I just been a good ten years on these issues, but I am not seriously attacked, unable to rn'appuyer on the observation. The fulcrum, observation of postmenopausal women has now provided you. I have a lot to advise you and offer you about it, but I can do so in writing. I frankly confess that I'm still too tired by internally, although, one façade, I still take the shot during the week. You will come to Vienna again, j’imagine, before I left, since, exactly, we will see later this year. We then discuss, and that is why I keep your sketch.

On the advice of friends, I gave, this year, the "evening Konstantinhügel" ⁵, so you can choose your days as you please.

No reaction to the bomb is still felt, outside Vienna, naturally. Here, some - few - are excited; others suggest more clearly that it would be too sharp, and you can imagine what others will tell. I do not believe that all subsequent statements, consequences, and even libel affect me much. For once, I gave the air - it was worth it - and I still relies on a solution to this untenable relationship with Zurich. I certainly do not pursue the controversy.

I still need to work fifteen days, here, of 8 h. the morning 9 h. Evening. Martin is already in Salzburg, au tribunal ⁶. Anna leaves before we, the 7 July⁷. It was in fact extraordinarily difficult one year.

Waiting to be hearing from you or see you,

Your Freud.

1. The assassination of the Austrian Crown Prince, François-Ferdinand, and his wife, the 28 June, by Gavrilo Princip and other terrorist movement "Young Bosnia", triggered a chain reaction leading to the First World War.
2. « Introversion » (withdrawal of the libido in its own self) is a concept that was introduced by Jung.
3. Freud himself had raised the issue in "early treatment" (1913c) : "We are often forced to ask, when dealing with a neurosis with hysterical symptoms and obsessive… if we do not deal with early onset of dementia, following the name he was given (de schizophrenia, following Bleuler) of paraphrenia, as I prefer to call… », Psychoanalytic technique, 1967, pp. 81-82. However, Freud could also refer to the remarks made by Ferenczi about Jones (during the analysis of the latter?).

Dear Professor !

Thank you very much for reprint ⁽¹⁾. This work has me so interested that I read it in one go on the first night. I was held in suspense by the contents sometimes, sometimes by the causticity of your review. I can not find anything wrong, because this work is entirely a reflection of your personality and will be of the highest value for your future biographers. The shots that you distribute pleased me a lot ; but what pleased me most was the extraordinary vitality that emerges from this work. You can keep it as long as possible.

With cordial greetings I remain

Your [The. Binswanger]

Budapest, the 26 June 1914

Dear Professor,

I have rarely been so uncertain value, or no value, a job as the one I sent you here (1). Can you tell me your opinion bluntly, I expect the worst. I ask you to consider the courage to submit it as a kind of sincerity that has no intention to conceal even what is poor. But I will not deny that at times, there are things in there that seem fair and important.

I'm glad not to be mistaken, by offering to leave you alone this summer. I find it hard to push my vacation until September (you know that Budapest in August is not really a summer resort suitable); I would therefore like to my decision from here, I have nothing to do, the 1^he August. I probe to see if Jones is free to this time, and it is possible that I go to England I am not yet gone.

I read again a trait of "History of the Psychoanalytic Movement". I find it excellent and I am glad that you do not get left soften and do not make any changes. The effect can not fail to happen, and I look forward to your new.

Tomorrow I'm going to my sister province, Nyiregy dwell qui-près de haza ⁽²⁾, but I'll be back Monday night.

Cordial greetings to you and yours,

Ferenczi

A significant contribution to the regression of genital and oral was given to me by a patient, already cured of impotence, who now must live in abstinence, because of gonorrhea. From, his teeth concerned with surprising frequency; he must constantly bite something, or cringe. I have come to believe that biting is also contributing to the genital libidinal (see the analogy of pace in the act of biting and coitus) and the symbolism of teeth is his last source. Therefore : perspective to explore the foundations of organic symbolic.

Cher ami.

The bomb has now exploded. We will soon effects that cause. I think we should leave its victims 2 at 3 week, the time they pull themselves together and react, and, the remainder, I'm not sure that their response to our caresses is precisely to remove.

Rank has shown me that my familiar demon played me a ride. So I sent a correction to the last page Yearbook; Perhaps you find yourself in other work to add something.

Sincerely.

Your Freud.
