Dear Professor,

Jones recently sent me some reprints from, inviting me to make a report to the Zeitschrift; inter alia, the attached article on "Interrelation of Biogenetic Psychoses ⁽¹⁾ ». I regret not find work in this spirit and genuine psychoanalytic, apart from a few pertinent remarks, it seems confusing and disconcerting. What is your opinion on this writing and how do I deal with my duty as rapporteur in this case?

Greetings from

Ferenczi

Dear Professor !

Thank you very much for your letter of 19 June. I only ask you to tell me about when the next volume to be published in the Jahrbuch. I am very excited by the announced.

Since the 18, I resumed service, what I weigh a little. I'm not moody, not really worried, it was only a nicotine poisoning (1) with cerebral and cardiac events. I still suffer some dizziness and a slight tendency to exhaustion, but I'm still working better than doing nothing.

With cordial greetings, I remain, dear Professor, faithfully

your [The. Binswanger]

1. In the Journal of Binswanger (II, pp. 5-8), found at the time of 12 June [1917] the dramatic story of a new nicotine poisoning : "First nicotine poisoning three years. Vascular nature of the crisis even more pronounced at this time. »

Cher Ami,

We live in expectation of the "bomb" that must be shipped upon arrival. For the time being, anything that could interest me more strongly.

Your contributions or sketches, I also look forward. It seems to me that the Zeitschrift now needs some strong achievements. Regarding the ambivalence, should think especially the work of Bleuler (1). Abraham, in Prince, right in his remarks about the work listed, but it is really not a good time to brandish the red pencil criticism, otherwise we have no contribution; we must admit a diversity of viewpoints, or an alloy with a certain percentage of non-sense. – Putnam wrote me, me too, more kindly than usual ⁽²⁾. It is possible that four American, we gardions three years after the schism (3).

Regarding the summer, I will reveal that I have a craving for a time of solitude, because in Seis I do work for Kraus ⁽⁴⁾, which can not be cured in the course of quiet walks. After, all depend on when I'm done with this work, four weeks, perhaps, thus 4 or 5 September. Abraham will come before Congress. That would be fine then, if we could go all the period from 18 until September to go to Holland or Hamburg. The period 4 to 18 September has not yet taken, may remain Seis us; I will inform you of each phase.

You really should attend the conference occultist ⁽⁵⁾. But after the, it is not compatible with our convention (16-24 October!).

A Madame G., hi my cordial.

Otherwise, I work as a new real beast, of 8 am to 9 ½ hour evening!

1. "The excellent speech" (Freud, 1912-1913, Totem et tabou, 1947, p. 47) ambivalence was introduced in 1910 by Bleuler at a conference entitled "Über Ambivalenz" (De l'ambivalence), account in Zentralblatt 1910-1911, 1, pp. 266-268, et dans dementia praecox or group of schizophrenias (Dementia praecox or group of schizophrenias), Leipzig et Vienne, 1911.

2. In his letter of 2 June, Putnam had rented the study of Freud on Moses (Freud, 1914A), ("The Moses of Michelangelo", Tests applied psychoanalysis, pp. 9-40) and shared the view of Freud Adler : "I think you just see; I also believe that my own complex push me too anxious to attempts to ” justice “, which are, actually, that attempts at conciliation " (Hale, Putnam, p. 204).

Freud was feared the defection groups around Ely Smith White and Jelliffe (1866-1945) who had accepted the concept of libido by Jung desexualized.

Dear Doctor !

I'm not nearly as "outraged" as you think. I found the same explanation that you offer. I just think psychiatrists also read the magazine, and I did not go willingly to your contributions. Can- be you I made this impression because of malicious

my concern, because I did not draw more information from the second letter of the first, to deduce if you're just "moody" or if you have a real reason for concern.

The VI^and volume of the Jahrbuch is now complete and should appear in about three weeks. Your offer appreciable arrives too late, but in the next Jahrbuch ⁽¹⁾ we will keep you plenty of room and do not want to do without you.

Soon you will receive something printed ⁽²⁾ on my part and I look forward to your response. Begging you to give your new Regards

your Freud

Budapest, the 19 June 1914

Dear Professor,

Regarding the wish - very justified - to include in the report the important relationship between’ ambivalence of the wild and neurotics (1), I already made the necessary. On the question of the presi-dential letter ², I joined the views of Rank and Sachs. - I load, naturally, the task of presenting a report to Congress on the theme of "A.[ssociation] P.[sychanalytique] I.[nternational] », but es-father that I will not come here; I wrote to Abraham in this direction. – Abraham a letter addressed to me, we noted (à la magazine) the work of Morton Prince, Haberlin et bloomer ³ would not have appeared without the development of writing. I believe, me too, that we should not save the editorial red pencil. Otherwise, we arrive again being cited as "psychoanalyst" against analysis, as a collaborator Beaurain (Yet which I brought contradiction) ⁴. (See the little book on dream collection Löwenfeld ⁵).

-I just browse the book Jelgersma ⁶; for the most part, it's good enough and sensible; he could dispense with its elegant reserve. - I recently wrote a small work on neuroses back age ⁷, with hinge points to onanism, the "neurasthenia" and - mixing-colie! I'll send it to you; please read indulgence, that is to say : do not reject immediately, if you do not seem fair. Anyway, write me your opinion on this topic. This is my first reaction to your Narcissism. - Attached is a kind letter of Putnam. I will answer him just as friendly⁸. - Abraham writes that he wants to come Seis ⁹. What can you me say about this trip? Should I again be on your back throughout the month of August? - Or do you want, for once, relax without me and without psychoanalytic discussions?

Apart from this, nothing to write. - Greetings from Mrs. G., who stay here¹⁰ a great pleasure. – Avec Varjas, caution should be exercised.

Cordially,

Your F[Ferenczi]

8. Putnam's letter has not been found. In its response 19 June, Ferenczi writes, especially, referring to the resignation of Jung : "Not only I am pleased that you are personally on our side in this internal crisis quite useless and ugly of the International Association, but it is also extremely important for the cause of psychoanalysis in the United States. The process must not be split artificially constrained; Science should be avoided compromise. »Hale, Putnam, p. 351.

9. In the Beginning, Freud had called Abraham to "spend the whole summer together" (letter 18 VII 1914, Freud-Abraham Correspondance, p. 188). For summer, "Freud had planned to go to Karlsbad cure his intestines, from 12 July, to go then Seis, in the southern Dolomites [at the time, South Tyrol] to spend their holidays themselves, before attending the Congress of Psychoanalysis qu'organisait Abraham, and that was the start 20 September in Dresden. Congress once completed, Freud, after a conference at the University of Leiden 24 September, expect his daughter [Anna] then in England and both would regain Austria " (Jones, II, p, 183).

Dear Professor Freud,

Your letter was eagerly awaited and much more welcome than usual. Your comments on the wedding Loe, etc., touched a chord in me sen-sible. You confirm the appreciation which I had expressed in Weimar and, at the time, you probably had seemed exaggerated. In spite of all this I can honestly say that I am delighted that we are parted and she has married another is the best illustration of the intolerable suffering it caused me, and you can guess that a relatively modest. Today, I almost fully paid her on the emotional and my attitude hardly goes beyond the fervent wish her to be happy.

For me too, The most remarkable feature of this chain of events is how our relationship has more than withstood the tension - this is even a question psychologically interesting - and I can not ascribing this, with deep gratitude, [your ⁽¹⁾] to feel truly English equity you have shown all along and your kindness to me even though you had presented a distorted picture of my shortcomings. All this has forged a permanent link in my feelings towards you.

Your remarks on Jung gave me a lot of good, and were obviously necessary. You rightly guessed that I was too much bad blood about it, and your letter reminded me more cold-blooded. The issue of my participation in the conference seems to me most important, and I will make my decision later, based on other considerations.

Thank you also for the translation of Everyday life (2), which imposes. Probably she will work well. Fisher Unwin asked me a book, so now I have here four publishers willing to take books ψα.

I was disappointed by a point in your letter - you guess which easily. I had hoped that the conference would take place earlier Leiden, in september, and you could spend some time in London before moving to Dresden. But I see that this is impossible and must wait for the pleasure of a visit next year – then we need to organize a regular meeting of friends (? Ferenczi et Rank).

Circular Letter of Abraham seems excellent, and in my opinion it should give some results.

I'm busy correcting the proofs of Yearbook. Tests your Narzis- smus they are already ready (3) ? I look forward to reading ; Sachs has touched me in a word.

This year, I will not take vacation, except in Dresden – with your permis-sion - Leiden, but I go to the countryside every Sunday, it gives me great pleasure. It's wonderful to be back in England !

Affectionately to you

Jones.

Cher ami,

After reading almost all of the new events Yearbook, I must express my thanks for the trouble you unparalleled are given in the interest of our cause. It will be an impressive demonstration of our little community, for which, in the coming time, the obituaries certainly will not miss.

Most of the reports are very good, some are excellent. I do not need to point out which. The homogeneity of viewpoints is particularly pleasant in all. Some may be, among the great, are too short; consistency is still lacking in the size of the subjects.

I ask you personally to make a little more carefully the passage relates to the question I posed in the analysis of Schreber, whether we should not change the concept of libido, it so that its terms do not appear to justify the misinterpretation of Jung. I asked only a dialectically, in order to, correctly interpreted as Ferenczi, give a negative response. All my objections merely that.

Now we naturally expect the effects of the "bomb", which has not yet been deposited. Deuticke promised to speed up. I can tell you, in my case, I feel again quite well. I often put the needs of the hour, I work 8 am to 9 pm.

Greetings and heartfelt thanks.

Your Freud.

Dear Doctor !

I warmly congratulate you for your fourth offspring (1) I only wish to better read your letter to provide valid arguments concerns (2) who reflected. It seems to me that you cancel your own prognosis.

The news of your conference (3) I was very pleased. But I do not understand why you have given to Alzheimer's (4) for publication rather than supporting our review of your contribution ?

What we do here ? We prepare the new Jahrbuch hoping that its publication will divorce with a true Swiss (6). I will work this summer, in Seis am

Schlern where we go after Karlsbad, writing my contribution to Kraus. End of September, after the conference , I'll do a conference in Leiden .

I cordially greet you, and your family, which is not so small, and I hope shortly to hear your good news,

Dear Madam,

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share with you a few words. I gather somehow a node that I have to tell you. I ask you to let me know if you want to appear on the header of the journal²³. Whether, it will be for the next issue. But think carefully ! We will soon have removed all names and their addresses Zurich there. It is for you to a position of sharper now if you include your name on the header. Because you are still in love with Jung, you can not really angry with him, you still see him as the hero pursued by the pack, you write me using phrases from his conception of libido, and you want to Abraham when he said his truths ! So you have to take a clear decision ; do not hesitate succeed more than good Pfister who suddenly finds himself between two stools²⁴. Do you impose any constraint, but thoroughly to be what you decide.

Of course, I hope you manage to get rid of as bric-a-brac of the ideal childhood hero and knight Germanic hides all your opposition to your environment and your home; and I hope you do not expect this misleading image that originally the child you want your father certainly. Test your teaching are undoubtedly in the right direction. Your inner fire that warms your ambitions instead of consume you. Nothing is more powerful than passion controlled and derived. You can not take anything for the moment as you are torn on both sides.

Sincerely welcome you if you stay with us, but then you have to recognize that the enemy is in front.

With my sincere wishes,

Your Freud

Dear Professor

I think a lot to work on narcissism and, ci, there come to mind things that are associated. As you have not yet completed the correction (I believe that), I would draw your attention to a passage : the interpretation of certain terms could lead to misunderstanding, but changing a single word would not misunderstanding.

You talk about two kinds of "end of the world" [Doomsday], that of dementia and of being in love. But the world is lost in dementia, while, when in love, it is an end of me [Ichuntergang], which can lead to a catastrophe in its wake no less and have an equally psychologically revolutionizing the regression to narcissism in dementia.

This time, I will spare you other suckers this topic.

Madame G. cordially greet you,

Ferenczi your

When in love, the world is not going to ruin, but the object of love is to love the world.

"The highest stage of development that can reach the object libido, we see in the state of passion which appears as a divestiture of the person's own, the benefit of the investment object ; the opposite is in the fantasy (self-perception) end of world, in the paranoid " (Freud, 1914c), On Narcissism, pp. 83-84.
