ABSTRACT

It does not surprise me that activity in the Association in Vienna is falling off. On the contrary, I am astonished that it has remained quite high for so long.—I think it is very right of you to have rejected a few scientific contributions from Switzerland. I have long regretted the fact that Pfister, for example-who is probably the person in question-was

still one of our collaborators. He wavers here and there, and his changes in position are entirely dependent on his personal attitude to you and Jung. His letter, which you quoted in the "History of the Psychoanalytic Movement"1 was indeed factually correct, but it was written in a period of personal resistance against J., and with his changed attitude all his fine discernment has vanished again.
