ALS in German, signed “Freud,” one page, 5.25 x 7.25, personal letterhead, January 24, 1936. Handwritten letter to "Mr. Montgomery," in part (translated): "I have expounded my view on the relationship of medical studies to psychoanalysis in great detail in a small book, 'The Question of Lay Analysis,' Vienna 1926, and have nothing new to add to it." Backed by two separated mounts and in good to very good condition, with trimmed edges, toning, and some splitting to the folds.
Sigmund Freud’s 1926 book The Question of Lay Analysis defends the right of non-physicians to practice psychoanalysis. Written in response to legal challenges against Theodor Reik, a non-medical analyst, Freud argues that psychoanalysis is primarily a psychological discipline rather than a branch of medicine. He maintains that proper training in psychoanalytic theory and technique—not a medical degree—is the essential qualification for practicing analysis.
