Between Ideology and Identity: Psychoanalysis in Jewish Palestine 1918-1948
The reception of psychoanalysis outside the German Cultural Sphere is an important chapter in the historiography of psychoanalysis as well as in the social and intellectual history of many societies. This paper attempts to historicize the reception of the Freudian paradigm in Palestine under the British Mandate by locating two of its main historical contexts: the socialist foundations of the budding Jewish society and the migration of German-speaking psychoanalysts following the Nazi accession to power.
