ABSTRACT
One extremely talented newcomer was the Hungarian Franz Alexander from Budapest, the son of a philosophy professor. He studied medicine and moved to Berlin after the war, where, in 1921, he became the first student of the Berlin Institute for Psychoanalysis and entered into analysis with K. Sachs. From Hungary, and especially Budapest, there was an influx of young analysts who had fled their country after the overthrow of the Republic of Councils. Sandor Rado also came from Budapest. He was to develop into one of the most important analysts in Berlin. He had studied political science and medicine in Budapest and, in 1913, he became secretary to the established Hungarian Psychoanalytic Society. In Budapest, Rado had been a very close friend of Ferenczi. Months might pass in the Budapest Psychoanalytic Society without anyone discussing a case or a therapeutic approach, let alone talking about techniques. Rado remained in Berlin and never went back to Budapest.
