Abstract:
Arthur Muthmann is known as a pioneer of psychoanalysis in German-speaking countries. He published on the clinical application of psychoanalysis as well as an article explaining the matter to laymen. His Freiburg years and later work have already been portrayed, while his academic failure in Switzerland and his directorship of a private sanatorium at the famous Hessian spa of Bad Nassau have hardly been looked at. Historians of psychoanalysis reported on Muthmann's definite split from the psychoanalytic movement after 1909 due to the fiasco about his professoral thesis at Basel. His contribution to the spreading of psychoanalytic knowledge of the time has been judged upon harshly by known historians. Both hypotheses will be scrutinised here.
