The Ferenczi-Jones correspondence presented here is an important
document of the early history of psychoanalysis. It spans more than
two decades, and addresses many of the relevant issues of the
psychoanalytic movement between 1911-1933, such as Freud's relation
to Stekel, Adler and Jung; the First World War, the debates of the
1920s regarding the theoretical and technical ideas of Rank and
Ferenczi; problems of leadership, structure, and finding a center
for the psychoanalytical movement; as well as issues related to
telepathy and lay analysis. It includes thirty-seven letters and
six postcards, as well as original documents waiting to be found
for eight decades; these belong to the "private," personal history
of psychoanalysis and help to decode diverse aspects of the
experience preserved in these documentary memories of former
generations. Perhaps the most interesting aspect of this
correspondence is how it allows us to build up a far more nuanced
picture of the development of an extraordinary relationship between
Ferenczi and Jones. It could hardly be termed harmonious, and was
not devoid of rivalry and jealousy, sometimes even of hidden
passion and outright hostility. Nevertheless, friendship, sympathy,
collegiality and readiness for cooperation were just as important
for Ferenczi and Jones as rivalry, mistrust and suspicion. This
volume celebrates the 100th anniversary of the foundation in 1913
of both the British and the Hungarian Psychoanalytical Societies.

First published in 1958, Free Associations is the story of the
early life of Ernest Jones. It was prepared for publication by his
son Mervyn, who contributed an epilogue covering the period from
1918 (when this book ends) through Jones's death in 1944. This new
edition includes a reflective introduction by Mervyn Jones, in
which he writes about Ernest Jones "as I could not write in 1958."
One of the pioneers in psychoanalysis, Ernest Jones was active in
advancing the status as well as the development of the field. In
the wider forum of public opinion, he made himself an advocate of
the new science-the Huxley, he liked to say, to Freud's Darwin.
Huxley had ranked below Darwin in creative originality, and had
filled the role of the faithful and indispensably useful follower;
and Mervyn Jones believes both Freud and Jones were pleased by the
comparison. In addition to his important public and organizational
roles (as president of the British and International Psychoanalytic
Associations), Jones made significant contributions to
psychoanalytic theory. When the Nazis invaded Vienna, he saved much
of the assets and archives of psychoanalysis, at great personal
risk, and made the arrangements for Freud to come to London. In his
introduction, Mervyn Jones presents a sometimes surprising portrait
of a thoroughly conventional man in what was then an unconventional
profession. He describes tensions and conflicts among the early
Freudians, and situates Freudianism with other theories that laid
claim to scientific truth in the late nineteenth century. Free
Associations presents an evocative picture of Wales and London at
the turn of the century, and describes the developing profession of
psychoanalysis. It is a dramatic story of success and failure, and
of a young man and how he responded to the new, strange ideas of
Freud. This book fills in our understanding of the history of
psychoanalysis and its founders.
This remarkable book takes as its subject one of the most
outstanding men that ever lived. The ultimate prodigy, Leonardo da
Vinci was an artist of great originality and power, a scientist,
and a powerful thinker. According to Sigmund Freud, he was also a
flawed, repressed homosexual. The first psychosexual history to be
published, Leonardo da Vinci was the only biography the great
psychoanalyst wrote. When Jung first saw it, he told Freud it was
'wonderful', and it remained Freud's favourite composition. The
text includes the first full emergence of the concept of narcissism
and develops Freud's theories of homosexuality. While based upon
controversial research, the book offers a fascinating insight into
two men - the subject and the author. If you've ever wondered just
what lies behind the Mona Lisa's enigmatic smile, read Freud on
Leonardo. It's genius on genius.
