ABSTRACT

Analysts of the British Society were keen to be practising something in its own right that was invented by Anna Freud, had its own trade-name, and it was quite a difficulty for analysts to really think of anything else except psychoanalysis. So Winnicott, of all other things, was honouring all the other collateral sciences and professions. Klein and Freud had become really the head of factions, which Winnicott refused to join in. Ernest Jones got the name "psychoanalysis" patented so that nobody else could call themselves psychoanalysts, with the medical authorities, the British Medical Association and he said that psychoanalysis is part of psychiatry. David Astor endowed a professorship at London University, and Marshall Field, the department store person in New York, in America, he gave great sums of money with which Freud got all the clinics, the three clinics in Maresfield Gardens, and paid for the trainings and did a great deal, and then attracted much more beside.
