ABSTRACT
Ferenczi first met Freud in 1908 and the two men quickly entered into a relationship which Freud would later describe as a "fellowship of life, thoughts, and interests". Excluded from the mainstream of the psychoanalytic movement for decades, the value of Ferenczi's work was only rediscovered after his Clinical Diary was published in 1985. This chapter shows relationship between these two men, if only from the unconscious dimension of their communications, signifying correlation between the process of burial and repression. It builds the interpersonal implications of this intrapsychic model around the armature of the idea that Freud's closest followers were unavoidably attracted by the verbal tombs of the master, indeed unconsciously driven to excavate their hidden and buried meaning. Freud himself fed this process by relentlessly enacting his own burial. The chapter reviews an important moment in the history of psychoanalysis: Freud's journey to America in 1909.
