[The members of the exiled Hungarian school, mourning and renewal]

A historical survey of the Hungarian psycho-analytical movement, followed by a description of the two successive waves of emigration. After some biographical details about three analysts who emigrated--Alice Balint, Michael Balint and Géza Roheim--exile is considered from the viewpoint of regretting the past and subsequent "renewal". Its effect is traced in the work of Balint and Roheim. Finally exile is seen as an ordeal creative of Freudian thought and as an experience common to all human beings.
