Although Sigmund Freud conceived his theories of psychoanalysis in Vienna and founded his movement there, the city still has few Freudian analysts. So last week, when the International Psycho-Analytical Association convened its biennial congress in Vienna for the first time, there was little more than a corporal's guard of 26 resident analysts to greet the more than 2,000 visiting delegates...
Overshadowing the occasion was Anna Freud, 75, youngest of Freud's offspring. To Analyst Anna, Vienna was no waltzing City of My Dreams but a city of nightmare: after she and her father were driven from it by the Nazis in 1938, she vowed never to return.

The compulsive clock watcher, on the other hand, has the same desire to rebel; unlike the latecomer, he suppresses it and submits to authority. Freud himself had a particular fear of traveling (known as Reisefieber) and usually showed up at railroad stations too early. The underlying reason, according to his biographer. Analyst Ernest Jones, was that Freud feared losing his home and ultimately his mother's breast-a "panic of starvation, which must have been...
