[Freud, Ferenczi and psychoanalysis in Hungary (author's transl)]

Psychoanalysis in Hungary was created and developed for a long time under the influence of the Austrian psychoanalysis and especially by Sigmund Freud personally. The key-figure in the history of the Hungarian psychoanalysis was Sándor Ferenczi, who in his theoretical works in many respects anticipated the ego-psychology. After 1933 the political development harmed the Budapest school of psychoanalysis, which was erased 1948. After 1957 a little renaissance of the movement was possible.
