ABSTRACT
In ‘Friendship and Its Discontents’ (Mahony, 1979), I traced in elaborate detail the origins of psychoanalysis in the personal life of Freud, his self analysis, and his relationships with his sister-in-law, Minna Bernays, and with Wilhelm Fliess. The period I then focused on, though not exclusively, was from approximately 1887 to 1904, and for principal documents I naturally relied on the Fliess correspondence (Freud, 1887–1902) and The Interpretation of Dreams. My present concern is again with origins, this time with the very origins of the psychoanalytic movement in which Jung appears as a protagonist. My primary texts now are collections of Freud's letters, the biographies by Jones (1953, 1955, 1957) and Schur (1972), the Minutes of the Vienna Psychoanalytic Society (Nunberg and Federn, 1906–1918), pertinent writings in the Standard Edition of Freud's works, and, most particularly, his analysis of primal family phenomena in Totem and Taboo (1913a). 1
