Vienna Psychoanalytic Society Records, 1922-1994
Vienna
Psychoanalytic Society started under the name of Psychological
Wednesday Society in 1902, when Freud, Stekel, Adler, Kahane, and
Reitler decided to meet weekly in Freud's apartment to discuss their
work. By 1908 there were 14 members and the name was changed to Vienna
Psychoanalytic Society. As the organization grew, Freud established
"the Committee" of devoted followers, and eventually the International
Psychoanalytic Association was founded with the chapters in all
major cities. The rise of the Nazism in Vienna brought about a
dispersal of the Vienna Psychoanalytic Society in 1938, shortly before
Freud's emigration to London.
The collection at BPSI Archives comprises one manuscript box of society
brochures, programs, calendars, and other publications, as well as the
newspaper clippings and books about Vienna and the Psychoanalytic
Society mostly from the 1930s. With exception of a few newspaper
clippings, the materials are in German.
