Description
The twelfth piece of correspondence between G. Stanley Hall and Sigmund Freud. Hall is pleased to hear Freud has arrived in New York, reiterates his offer that Freud stay with him during his time in Worcester, and asks a few questions regarding his lectures at the upcoming conference.
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.
