ABSTRACT

Sigmund Freud and Sándor Ferenczi were close friends and fellow travelers, wandering Jews who traveled and vacationed together regularly for many years. As we have seen in the previous chapter, Freud (1919e) equated the love of a foreign place with the search for origins, the longing for an original home. This particular wandering Jew had to overcome a travel phobia, a fear he would miss his train, as well as his phobia of Rome. Join us now, travel with us, all aboard the Nachträglichkeit express for a regressive time travel back a century into the uncanny origins of psychoanalysis.
