ABSTRACT

The chapter briefly presents the history and major changes in the 20th-century history of psychoanalysis in Hungary with its significant theoretical trends and figures, and placing it within the contemporary social and political circumstances. It summarises the development of psychoanalytic movement and institutions from the prospering 1910s and 1920s, to the more endangered 1930s and early 1940s, to the short post-war revival and the decades of repression.
