Taking us from World War I Berlin to the Third Reich and beyond to 1940s Palestine and 1950s New York--and to the influential work of the Frankfurt School--Veronika Fuechtner traces the network of artists and psychoanalysts that began in Germany and continued in exile. Connecting movements, forms, and themes such as Dada, multi-perspectivity, and the urban experience with the theory and practice of psychoanalysis, she illuminates themes distinctive to the Berlin psychoanalytic context such as war trauma, masculinity and femininity, race and anti-Semitism, and the cultural avant-garde. In particular, she explores the lives and works of Alfred Döblin, Max Eitingon, Georg Groddeck, Karen Horney, Richard Huelsenbeck, Count Hermann von Keyserling, Ernst Simmel, and Arnold Zweig.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFuechtner has done extensive research in both published and unpublished primary materials to detail in a fresh and stimulating manner the contacts between and among practitioners of psychoanalysis in Berlin and representatives of the diverse and vibrant cultural milieu of Berlin between the world wars.

Berlin's psychoanalytic world was more political, more literary, more engaged with feminism and gay identity than Vienna ever was. Yet the Nazis managed to efface the Berlin tradition in Germany virtually totally--ironically by transforming the institute rather than closing it. In what is the most important book in ANY language on the Berlin Psychoanalytic Institute, Veronika Fuechtner has captured its intellectual ferment and powerful presence in Imperial and Weimar Germany.
