Description

The sixteenth piece of correspondence between G. Stanley Hall and Sigmund Freud. Hall formally expresses his desire to make Freud's lectures from the 1909 conference available in print. Hall indicates that this conversation began during Freud's time in Worcester.

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.
