Evolution of Freudian psychoanalytic thought in the twentieth-century USA: The influence of the European émigrés (https://doi.org/10.1080/0803706X.2021.1984576)

  • This paper briefly reviews major theoretical and clinical changes in American psychoanalysis since its beginning in the early twentieth century. The immigration of European analysts in the 1930s and 40s was of major significance.
