Budapest, the 8 January 1914 ^A

Dear Professor

Since my nose job, I was pretty well. Here, I had a brief relapse respiratory, which have now disappeared, so that I can now hope to regain my normal working capacity, although we can not exclude the possibility that other repairs (smaller) on the nasal turbinates are necessary. It is possible that I am obliged to pass this Sunday or next to Vienna (and, and yet only, nose for stories).

I had a brief meeting with the members of the Association on

Jung's letter and we decided to propose Dresden. But I do not want to answer Jung after receiving your proposal on this, because we want to be in unison Vienna, Berlin and London.

Consultations increased, new patients also occur from time to time, which had not been the case for months.

For the Jahrbuch, I want to develop a theme that concerns me. However, symbolism does not lend itself – it is not yet ripe, as you rightly note. In reports to the Jahrbuch, I was given the general theory of the neuroses a good subject, but difficult.

Reading test on laughter Bergson was an opportunity for me to reflect on the general laughter. I think I found a supplement, significant, your point of view on laughter, developed in "Jokes" * ².

Here is a similar complement your explanation of rescue fantasy (as compensation for the birth)³ : children who struggle with oedipal fantasy (aggression against the father, sex assault.[ow] sad.[ique] against the mother) feel inhibited in these fantasies by feelings of gratitude. To engage in more reckless Oedipal fantasy, it would eliminate the feeling of the world being-forced-to-the-gratitude by saving, also, the lives of his parents to be "even" with them (4).

Sincerely

Your Ferenczi

3. The motif of rescue – the fantasy of saving the parents of a danger - was described by Freud as derived from the "parental complex" : "When the child hears he owes his life to his parents, her mother gave birth, motions tender unite him to motions struggling to make him a great man, an independent man, and give rise to the desire to return the gift to parents, to give them in exchange a gift of equal value ", Freud (19 lOh), "A special type of object choice in humans", in Sexual Life, pp. 47- 55, citation : pp. 53-54.

Cher Ami,

You will probably receive our honorable president's invitation to rule on the place of the next congress. This is incor-rect again, as another decision was made at the Congress What do you do? Do not give any response until you have consulted with us, Berlin and London. Rank you write more.

Jones sent a letter today from Putnam in which he informs us that his youngest daughter 17 years old (not Griselda) died of diabetes.

He says, other, we have known as a child ², in 1909. But I can absolutely not remember. It would be interesting to know whether, you, You can.

This hateful strike (3) continues to paralyze us.

With my cordial greetings to you and Mrs. G.,

Dear Jones,

In exchange for your letter of Putnam, I will address one that seems pretty good. Agreed about Jung appears as a strong decision if you remember my words, « brutal, insincere, sometimes dishonest ". Even in theory, it makes more concessions than we had hoped, even if, of course, the repressed returns a "Back door" [through the back door]. Return the letter to the needs of the response. I deplore the loss of her child, but this is not the beloved, Griselda ⁽¹⁾.

Loe progressing quite, if I'm not mistaken. You have received the circular Jung about Congress. I beg you not to answer before making contact with Berlin, BPEST and Vienna. We want to measure forces with Zurich and act in concert. Tell me what you propose to move our group. You hold it up to the decision of Congress, vote for Schandau and go there with the most members possible? Or suggest something which excludes Congress and is almost late to meetings ? Think ahead and give your answer to Rank or Sachs, who asked the same question Ferenczi and Abraham.

Thank you for the interesting passage Boas. I work at History of the movement ψα, I'm trying to make it as fun as possible and indiscreet.

Faithfully to you

Freud

Dear Professor, This is all my heart that I answer your affectionate greetings. I wish you all kinds of happiness for you and yours. For me just take a year where what is best is so closely tied to your person that I can never remember without me repeat myself "Thank! ».

Enclosed you will find a relatively young person ²³, about which I had written in November of Berlin that I did more with it as very distant relationship. But since you insist, I send - not without mixed feelings. But also with the warmest memories of your

Lou Andréas.

Perhaps it is the photo that Rilke said the 18 January 1904: “This portrait is very similar with regard to many of your hours but not for thee whole ; I would : shortly before the hours not good, you could look like this. I guess you have already changed since.”

Dear Professor,

Negotiations with the rapporteurs for the Yearbook worked well. I spend every free minute working on the drive to see.

What you told me about the genesis of masochism put me in recent days on a track that seems promising. It is the analysis of exhibitionism (as for-version, and not the general inclinations exhibitionists neurotics). Links with castration anxiety seem quite obvious. Exhibitionism, it would show the body part for which we feel the anguish, for different reasons, but mostly converge :

1. Compulsion of anxiety with emphasis; we bare with anxiety (because of the threat of castration), listening and (as the masochist) the desire and the unconscious impulse to be castrated.
2. We watch with challenge : despite the threat, I still have my penis!
3. Desire to impose on the woman, or scare. Attempt to encourage the kind, women to do the same, debased sexual activity (castration anxiety) allowing no other process. (In most cases, there at the same time helplessness.) According to my analysis, the origin of the exhibition back with certainty to the mother. Attempt to compete with the father.

It's late, I also apologize for the poor presentation.

My wife cordially thank your daughter Anna's letter. For the rest, receive our greetings from family to family and best wishes for 1914.

As always, your

Karl Abraham.

D [crossed] Cher Ami,

The D [crossed] should show you that I just wrote to Jones. I knew nothing of the proposal he had made you, write an article on the symbolism for the Jahrbuch It seems to me that you only, among the great, are represented by any original contribution. The only excuse for this omission is that we must not let us bleed for this and only forum that Zeitschrift still needs a great care ; but it would still be more impressive if you could appear here too, what you want, naturally. The symbolism is perhaps not yet quite ripe.

I finished the Moses ², but still, I do not know why you protested so strongly against my anonymity ³. Following, it will, or rather it will, the narciss.[name] more subjective and history of the movement [psy alpha]⁴, both for Jahrbuch. I'm fine and I'm easily the routine work.

I hope that nose job you did good. Today, I get to work with Loe, more vigorously.

I say cordially : "Happy New Year",

Your Freud
