Description
The eleventh piece of correspondence between G. Stanley Hall and Sigmund Freud. Freud writes from New York having arrived in America with Carl Jung and Sándor Ferenczi. The three men would stay at the Hotel Manhattan from August 29 through September 4. Freud writes this letter in English.
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.
