Description

Generosity from the pioneering psychoanalyst

ALS in German, signed “Freud,” one page, 6 x 3, personal letterhead, February 7, 1913. Letter to Dr. P. Federn. In full (translated): "Please charge according to the [financial] circumstances of the patient, however not gratis.” Double-matted and framed with a portrait of Freud. In fine condition, with scattered light creasing. The recipient, Paul Federn, became one of Freud’s earliest followers after reading his Interpretation of Dreams; he later served as Freud’s surrogate at conferences once the pioneering psychoanalyst was stricken with cancer in the 1920s. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
