Description

The twenty-second piece of correspondence between G. Stanley Hall and Sigmund Freud. Hall requests that Freud look over a translation draft of the first of five lectures Freud gave at the 1909 Conference. They were working to get a written version of these lectures printed. This first translation of the five Freud lectures was completed by Harry Woodburn Chase, one of Hall's Ph.D. students.

Clark University's 1909 conference was a celebration of the institution's twentieth anniversary. The conference is most notable for the participation of Sigmund Freud who, along with Carl Jung, would take their first and only trip to America to attend. The five lectures Freud gave, collectively titled “The Origin and Development of Psychoanalysis” and subsequently known in print as “Five Lectures on Psychoanalysis”, mark the formal introduction of his theories to the United States.
