Der Korpus an Briefen, den Freud hinterließ, ist einer der umfangreichsten, der in der jüngeren Gegenwart erhalten ist.

A letter from Paula Heimann to her training analyst, Theodor Reik, written shortly before her emigration from Berlin to London, sheds light on some technical controversies and personal animosities that shaped psychoanalytic clinical discourse in the early 1930s, as well as on Heimann’s subsequent development as a clinician. A close reading of
Few chapters in the historiography of psychoanalysis are as densely packed with trans-cultural, ideological, institutional, and moral issues as the coming of psychoanalysis to Jewish Palestine – a geopolitical space which bears some of the deepest scars of twentieth-century European, and in particular German, history.
