...that he was a horse. He has always had painting materials in his room in the Bellevue Sanitarium at Kreuzlin gen, where he draws strange bugs, flower arrangements, distorted masks and faces with staring eyes. Not long ago Mme Nijinsky showed a collection of these fancies to Drs. Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung. Both psychoanalysts suggested that she exhibit them abroad not only as works of art but as studies in abnormal mentality. As though in reaction to the bril liant gay colors of the ballet, Painter Nijinsky uses a somber palette. Recently he has entered what Mme Nijinsky calls...
...Abraham Arden Brill of Manhattan, a Freud disciple, was scheduled to read a paper on "Abraham Lincoln as a Humorist." Lincoln, from what Dr. Brill has been able to learn out of Lincoln biographies, was a schizoidmanic. That appellation is not so horrendous as it seems in type. A schizoid is a "split personality." He has subtle conflicts among the psychic components of his personality. A manic is a moody person, one subject to fits of exaltation and depression. When a manic or a schizoid or any type of mental aberration annoys his neighbors, they call him crazy and have...
Professor Sigmund Freud's 75th birthday last week was full of incident. The Vienna Medical Society, which derided his first exposition of psychoanalysis 45 years ago so brutally that the sensitive student vowed never again to enter its rooms, made him an honorary member. Professor Julius Wagner-Jauregg (Nobel Prize), long Freud's opponent, acclaimed him thus: "Recognition by enemies is worth more than any amount of applause from supporters." In Manhattan and other centres scholars assembled for Freud homage dinners. And one of his most successful acolytes, Dr. Fritz Wittels of Vienna and Manhattan, published Freud...
...book is both a panegyric of Professor Freud and Freudism. Besides magnifying Freud's effects on psychology, philosophy, art, drama, education and law, all certainly profound, Dr. Wittels begins his gloria in excelsis by linking Goethe and Freud. He ends with Einstein and Freud. The Goethe-Freud link is generally justifiable. Both men began as empirical investigators and ended as rationalizing scientists. And it was a Goethe essay which transformed Dr. Freud's early disinclination to medicine into a probing interest. The Einstein-Freud theory shows that Dr. Wittels has knowledge of Albert Einstein, Sir Arthur Eddington...
...unacademic tone of Dr. Wittels' book is just the sort of thing which has stimulated opposition to Professor Freud's theories throughout his long career. Against that opposition he, always a shy man, built the fastness of his Vienna home. Last week, while savants did him homage the world over, he did not emerge from his retreat. Illness was his good excuse. His wife and Anna, the only unmarried one of their six children, would not admit even relatives...
