Seldom theoretical in nature, Freud’s letters to Eitingon deal mostly
with strategic and institutional issues. But even Freud’s repeated reports
on his painful mouth prosthesis (so familiar to any reader of Freud’s
correspondence in his later years) sound more revealing than usual—as,
for example, when Freud is reporting to Eitingon his decision to consult
a new dentist, this time one of Jewish descent: “Having endured so many
years of Goiischer painstaking clumsiness I will gladly put my trust
in the Jewish Sechel”
