...writer of this letter was none other than Sigmund Freud, and he sent it to famed Viennese Playwright Arthur Schnitzler on May 14, 1922, the eve of Schnitzler's 60th birthday. The letter (printed in Germany in 1955 but not previously published in the U.S.) has now been brought to light by Los Angeles Psychoanalyst Herbert I. Kupper, to make a point about Freud and his theories. It suggests, Dr. Kupper told the American Psychoanalytic Association, not only that Freud was capable of believing in the mystical concept of the Doppelgänger,* but that his teachings themselves...
...Among Hungarians, or their descendants, who have made names for themselves: such musicians as Franz Liszt, Bela Bartok, Zoltan Kodaly, Eugene Ormandy, Joseph Szigeti and Sigmund Romberg; such theatrical personalities as Alexander Korda, Ferenc Molnar, the Gabor sisters, Ilona Massey and Leslie Howard (real name: Arpad Steiner); such scientists as Nobel Prizewinner Albert Szent-Gyorgyi (discoverer of vitamin C) and Mathematician John Von Neumann; such public figures as David Lilienthal, onetime chairman of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, H-bomb Pioneer Edward Teller, Socialist Eugene V.

...this, young (35) Dr. Progoff, now practicing "depth psychology" in Manhattan, attempts a bold task: reconciling the often violently discordant views of modern psychology's major prophets-Sigmund Freud, Alfred Adler, Carl Gustav Jung and Otto Rank.

As Progoff sees it, Freud took...
...nearly 800 people consulted University psychiatrists last year, and that at least as many are expected to do so this year, gives the psychiatric service, only 20 years old, an important place in University life. And, since the material with which many psychiatric interviews are concerned comes from what Sigmund Freud has called the unconscious, the Service's growing importance is likely to be the subject of debate, and often of unfavorable comment from those who feel psychiatry has no place in education...
Passionately addicted to self-scrutiny, the 20th century started out talking and worrying about its sex life with a nervous intensity that would have appalled earlier ages; it made prophets of Sigmund Freud, Havelock Ellis and that Baedeker of sexual abnormality, Richard von Krafft-Ebing. What remained was for someone to link the age's preoccupation with sex to its passion for statistics. That job was taken on, not surprisingly, by an American-Alfred Charles Kinsey of Bloomington, Ind., zoologist by training, who was determined to observe the sex behavior of the human animal with the scientific methods...
