ABSTRACT
Felix Deutsch turned to opera and concerts as well as theater for solace and diversion; poker games among analysts were also a regular activity. Both Felix and Helene Deutsch, although she was allotted more space, were supposed to write articles for a medical handbook; their papers were due in February 1924. Felix reported a more favorable attitude toward him by people like Federn, Ludwig Jekels, Herman Nunberg, and Dr. Eduard Hitschmann; and he attributed this rise in his standing to the fact that some Americans had registered for his course. Felix was on the lookout for a new apartment for them in Vienna, and wondered whether Helene would consider having her office separate from their living quarters. S. Freud was to mind particularly Felix’s indiscretions to Siegfried Bemfeld about Freud’s health problems and thought that Felix’s medical judgment had been impaired by the analysis.
