Description
The twenty-eighth piece of correspondence between G. Stanley Hall and Sigmund Freud. Freud expresses gratitude to Hall, both for their time together over three years ago for the 1909 Conference, and for Hall's continued interest and engagement with his work. Freud also discusses Hall's skepticism around the use of sex symbolism in psychoanalysis.
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.
