213EDITORIAL PREFACEDESPITE Freuds personal frankness in
hiswritings he retained a deep inner reserve andso is likely to
remain a man of mystery to futuregenerations, who will greatly like
to understandwhat manner of mind it was that was able unaidedto
penetrate so profoundly into its own secrets andinto those of
humanity. Any scraps of information, therefore, concerning his
remarkable personalitywill be welcome, and the present book
providessome of undoubted interest. Dr. Reik throws lighton several
aspects of Freuds personality, amongwhich special attention may be
called to the convincing evidence of Freuds fundamental hopefulness
and the falsity of designating him a pessimist.The author would be
the last to deny that theglimpses he gives us are but partial ones,
and thathe does not pretend to paint a complete picture. Hewould
further, I am sure, admit that the passageofyears has brought an
increasing risk of strengtheningthe subjective factor in some of
his judgements andpossibly also in his memories. Two little
instancesoccur to me. He says that after Freuds serious illnessthe
only thing noticeable was that he cleared histhroat when he
lectured. In fact, Freud neverlectured after that date and only on
one occasiondid he ever even attend a meeting of the
Society.Clearing the throat was a habit he had always hadwhat the
illness brought was the difficulty of articulation. The second
instance concerns Dr. Reiksquoting Freuds prohibiting the
celebration of hisEDITORIAL PREFACEseventieth birthday with the
remark, alluding toKarl Abrahams recent death, one cannot celebrate
with a corpse in the house. In fact there wasan important
celebration of that birthday I wentto Vienna myself to attend it.
And Freuds birthdaywas in May, while Abraham had died in the
previousDecember. If Dr. Reiks memory is correct aboutFreuds
remark, then it is certainly not to be takenas an expression of
conventional piety on Freudspartthis would have been not in the
least characteristic of himbut as an illustration of the way
hewould snatch at any pretext to avoid, or at leastminimise, a
ceremonial occasion.While, therefore, we are grateful to Dr.
