Abstract:
The career of van Ophuijsen is described in this article using material from public and privat archives. After completing his medical studies at the University of Leyden, he trained as a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst in Zürich, Switzerland. In 1913 he opened his practice in The Hague. Van Ophuijsen was the most prominent member of the Dutch Psychoanalytic Society in the twenties; he was president from 1928 till 1933. He was also on the board of the International Psychoanalytic Association. In 1933 he initiated a split in the Dutch Society, resigned as its president, and founded a short-lived new society. At the end of 1935 he settled in New York, where he was an active psychoanalyst and psychiatrist until his death.
