ABSTRACT
The Austro-Hungarian doctors, however, who were in the army, could not obtain visas to travel to Germany Karl Abraham wrote to Lou Andreas-Salome that this meant fourteen registrations to attend the congress would have to be annulled, and with them a majority of the lectures. The congress was transferred to Budapest, in the hope that the two German psychoanalysts who were serving soldiers would be allowed a visa because there were so few of them. The participants in the congress were royally received. The city of Budapest had made the opened Gellert furdo thermal baths and hotel available, and, on the eve of the congress, a reception took place in the marble hall. The scientific part of the Budapest congress began with a lecture about war neuroses by Ferenczi, with Abraham and Simmel as fellow speakers. At the congress in The Hague in September 1920, S. Freud gave a lecture with the fairly innocent-sounding title "Erganzungen zur Traumlehre".
