FREUD, Sigmund (1856-1939)
Autograph letter signed ('Freud') to an unidentified colleague ('Geehrter Herr Kollege'), Vienna, 26 June [19]10.
In German. One page, 275 x 215mm, printed notepaper (two tears in left and right margins each touching one word, two small tears in blank lower margin). Framed (46 x 39cm) and mounted.
Freud takes on English patients only at a high price. Freud writes to a colleague explaining that it is his pupil Dr Stekel who has reported success in the treatment of stuttering by psychoanalysis, and expressing his confidence that Stekel would like to treat the 19-year-old stutterer, but the patient would have to be able to speak German – he himself does take English-speaking patients but at a high fee. 'Dr. Stekel würde den 19j. Stotterer gewiss gerne in Behandlung nehmen aber der Pat. müsste des Deutschen mächtig sein. Seine Bedingungen wird er Ihnen über Aufforderung mittheilen. Ich nehme zwar englisch sprechende Pat. an aber zu hohen Preisen'. Freud also mentions his holiday plans.
Dr Wilhelm Stekel (1868-1940), one of Freud's early and most distinguished disciples, is said to have analysed over 10,000 patients. His relationship with Freud later became more distant.
