SUMMARY:From Vienna to the US: Expulsion and Renaissance of Psychoanalysis
DESCRIPTION:Image Credits: Austen Riggs Foundation, “First Stockbridge Congress on Child Analysis”, Austen Riggs Foundation, Stockbridge, Massachusetts, April 23-24, 1950\nJune 7 | 7 pm\nSold out.\n \nJoin us and the four wonderful panelists, Jane G. Tillman, Daniela Finzi, Nellie L. Thompson and Elisabeth Frischauf, for an interesting discussion about Viennese émigré analysts and their influence on psychoanalysis.\n \nAbout the Event\nAfter the “Anschluss,” the annexation of Austria into National Socialist Germany, numerous members and candidates of the Vienna Psychoanalytic Society (Wiener Psychoanalytische Vereinigung, WPV ( https://wpv.at/# )) were affected by increased oppression, radicalized attacks and antisemitic legislation. With the commitment and support of the international psychoanalytic community, all threatened Viennese psychoanalysts and candidates left Vienna by spring 1939. The majority emigrated to the US, with a particularly large contingent coming to New York. In contrast to Europe, where the science of the unconscious met with resistance at the universities, psychoanalysis was well-established in the US by the 1930s. For some Viennese emigrants, American exile provided opportunities that would have remained closed to them elsewhere. At the New York Psychoanalytic Society, which was the most influential and largest psychoanalytic association in the US, Viennese emigrants were the majority of members by the end of the war. Former WPV members held important positions in the Training Committee, on the Board of Directors and in the outpatient clinic, and only a few returned to Austria after the end of the war. \nThe panel will discuss the historical events and biographies of Viennese émigré analysts and will consider their influence on psychoanalysis in the decades to follow. The event will take place in the context of the exhibition “Organized Escape. Psychoanalysts in Exile,” ( https://www.freud-museum.at/en/subsites-organized-escape/articles/online-exhibition-organized-escape-survival-in-exile ) originally from the Sigmund Freud Museum ( https://www.freud-museum.at/en/?gclid=CjwKCAjwge2iBhBBEiwAfXDBR6YPLoeaLcLNgjYNwpB-ONaeVPDtC1XNrOH3tNKdsC5lywNHUVfFVxoCMsQQAvD_BwE ) in Vienna and opening at the Austen Riggs Center ( https://www.austenriggs.org/ ) in Stockbridge, MA, which will run from June 2nd to mid-October, 2023. \n \nAbout the Panelists\nJane G.
