In this memoir, Richard F. Sterba describes his involvement in the Vienna Psychoanalytic Society from 1924 to 1938 as a student, an active member, and finally a board member
of the Vienna Psychoanalytic Society and a member of the faculty of the Vienna Psychoanalytic Institute.
As colleagues and contemporaries of Felix and Helene Deutsch, Wilhelm and Annie Reich, Edward and Grete Bibring, Marie Bonaparte, and August Aichhorn, among the analysts in the Viennese group, Richard and Editha Sterba were early participants in the
development of psychoanalysis.
Sterba's descriptions of the meetings of the Vienna Society paint a picture of the new science as it emerged from the intellectual
interplay between Freud and the other
members of the extraordinary circle of
brilliant analysts gathered around him in the 1920s.
Sterba is the last witness to some events of the Vienna Psychoanalytic Society, including the final meetings of the society in 1938 just before the Anschluss. His firsthand report is an important contribution to the rapidly
growing body of literature about Sigmund Freud and his colleagues.
