Abstract:
The author examines the course of 17 analyses, as conducted by Freud, on the basis of a new source, Freud's patient notebooks. All analysands (5 women, 12 men) were or were to become members of a psychoanalytic society. Their treatments were marked by a relatively short duration (all of them less than one year) and a very high number of hours per week (generally 6). The total number of hours ranged between 9 and about 250. Compared to present conditions, both the duration and the number of weekly hours show the great historical change that has taken place. The author discusses this change as well as some other characteristics, e. g. the customary extra-analytical contact between Freud and his analysands. In an appendix, treatment profiles of all 17 analyses are given, summarizing their duration, the total number of hours, number of hours per week and number of hours in each month of treatment.
