Description
The twenty-fourth piece of correspondence between G. Stanley Hall and Sigmund Freud. Hall tells Freud about a recent afternoon session of the American Association of Psychologists entirely dedicated to a discussion of Freud and his theories. References are made to James Jackson Putnam, Morton Prince, Carl Jung, Boris Sidis, Ernest Jones, and Abraham Brill.
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.
