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.
