This is the correspondence between two physicians and
psychoanalysts from the circle of Sigmund Freud, a correspondence
ended only by the death of Ferenzci in 1933. The letters, largely
those of Ferenczi (as few of Groddeck's have been preserved), bear
witness to the friendship of two men who made so many original
contributions to psychoanalysis, and at the same time reflect the
history of psychoanalysis. They met in the summer of 1921, when
Ferenczi was taking a cure at the Sanatorium in Baden Baden and
Groddeck was his doctor, and they soon became friends. Their
correspondence is personal and intimate, and shows us two highly
individual personalities. Additionally, the volume includes the
introduction to the original edition of these letters, first
published in French in 1982, by Judith Dupont, psychoanalyst,
translator, and editor of Ferenczi's complete works in French.
Ample notes by Christopher Fortune provide the background to this
correspondence.
2013 Reprint of 1933 Edition. Full facsimile of the original
edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Georg
Groddeck (1866-1934) was a physician and writer regarded as a
pioneer of psychosomatic medicine. Of his method Groddeck wrote:
"He who draws the conclusion that I mentally medicate a human who
has broken his leg is very true - but I adjust the fracture and
dress the wound. And then - I give him a massage, make exercises
with him, give a daily bath to the leg with water at 45 C for half
an hour and I take care that he does neither gorge nor booze, and
every now and then I ask him: Why did you break your leg...?" The
present volume is a compilation of addresses and articles taken,
for the most part, from journal articles. Chapters include: Shadows
of the Past Unconscious Purpose in Animal Behavior Unconscious
Factors in Organic Processess Unconscious Symbolism in Language and
Art Theoretical Bases
