Description
The first piece of correspondence between G. Stanley Hall and Sigmund Freud. Hall invites Freud to speak at the twentieth anniversary conference in July 1909 (the bulk of the conference would be postponed to September as Freud and several other invitees could not attend the July dates).
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.
