Description
The twenty-fifth piece of correspondence between G. Stanley Hall and Sigmund Freud. Freud thanks Hall for telling him about the afternoon session of the American Association of Psychologists entirely dedicated discussing Freud and his theories. Boris Sidis is mentioned. More logistics regarding the printing of Freud's 1909 Conference lectures are discussed.
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.
