Notes to letter 9F

1. Corrected in the original from “the”.

2. Ferenczi is mistaken here: Freud's first grandchild, born on 11 March 1914, actually was a boy, Ernst Wolfgang Halberstadt, whom Freud observed playing the “fort-da” game. Ernst later became a psychoanalyst.

3. In German, “genesen” also means “to recuperate/to convalesce”.

4. Ideges tünetek keletkezése és eltűnése és egyéb értekezések a pszichoanalízis köréből [Origin and disappearance of Neurotic Symptoms, and other treatises on Psycho-Analysis] (Ferenczi, 1914[149])

5. Sándor Radó (1890–1972), a Hungarian physician and psychoanalyst who studied law in Budapest, medicine in Berlin, and obtained his doctorate in Budapest in 1915. He was a founding member and secretary of the Hungarian Psychoanalytic Association in 1913. During the Hungarian Councils' Republic in 1919, he was ordered to service at the Department of Higher Education, People's Commissariat for Public Education. In this position, he was influential in Ferenczi's appointment to professorship. He emigrated to Berlin in 1922, where he went into analysis with Abraham and became one of the teachers at the Berlin Psychoanalytic Institute. In 1931, he emigrated to the USA. During his exile in New York, he founded several centres for psychoanalytic training and research. From 1944 until his retirement in 1955, he was director of Columbia University's Institute of Psychiatry. Owing to his fundamentally organic orientation, he increasingly distanced himself from Freud, leaving the New York Association in 1944 and, with Carl Binger, Abram Kardiner, and others, founded a separate analytic institute at Columbia University, which was recognised by the American Psychoanalytic Association. Radó left a considerable mark on institutional structures as well as on subsequent generations of analysts (Tomlison, 2010).

6. István Hollós (1872–1957), Hungarian psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who was a friend and collaborator of Ferenczi. He worked as a psychiatrist in Nagykálló, Nagyszeben, and at the Angyalföld hospital in Budapest. From 1900–1909, he was physician and, from 1919–1925, chief physician, at the state hospital for mentally insane “Lipótmező” in Budapest. A founding member of the Hungarian Psychoanalytic Association in 1913, he translated The Interpretation of Dreams, was analysed by Freud during 1918, and later had a training analysis with Paul Federn. He was a pioneer of the application of psychoanalytic methods in psychiatry and of the open-door system of psychiatric treatment. Due probably to his Jewish descent, he was forced to retire in 1925. With Ferenczi, he published Zur Psychoanalyse der paralytischen Geistesstörungen (Psychoanalysis and the Psychic Disorders of General Paresis) (Ferenczi & Hollós, 1922[239]). 1927 saw the publication of his book under the original title Búcsúm a sárga háztól. Dr. Pfeiflein különös írása az elmebetegek felszabadításáról (Behind the yellow wall: Dr. Telemach Pfeiflein's peculiar writing on the liberation of the lunatic) (Hollós, 1927). After Ferenczi's death, he became President of the Hungarian Psychoanalytic Association. He published several works on the psychoanalysis of language and vocalisation. In 1944, the Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg saved him and his wife from being shot by Hungarian Fascist gangs on the banks of the Danube (see his letter to Paul Federn, dated 17 February 1946: “Brief eines Entronnenen” (Letter of an escapee), Hollós, 1974).
