Besitzvermerk mit Bleistift. - Englisch. - Written with humor and warmth, Appointment m Vienna is a fascinating memoir that covers five years of student life in Vienna during the early years of the psychoanalytic movement started by Sigmund Freud. It begins in 1930, when, full of high expectations, the author and her husband, as newly weds, left their native America and eagerly embarked on an exhilarating journey that would take them to Austria, where they were to become candidates at the Psychoanalytic Institute. As Esther began her analysis with Anna Freud herself, and her husband, Bill, began his analysis with the beautiful and renowned Helene Deutsch, they were surprised by the contrast between the ambitious aims of psychoanalytic theory and its rigid practice. Even more baffling was the behavior of analysts so intent on defending their controversial theories that they sometimes tried to mold their subjects' self-interpretations with strict Freudian concepts. If their classes were not what they had anticipated, the Menakers were further surprised by Viennese social relations. Expecting to find a free and uninhibited new way of life, the young couple was shocked and disillusioned to find an inflexible set of norms reminiscent of the Victorian era-the very situation they had hoped to leave behind them. Looking back on her student days, Dr. Menaker deftly recreates Vienna as it stood suspended in time: Although tinged with vestiges of repressive Victorian morality, Vienna was enjoying an intellectual and cultural renaissance soon to be shattered by the storm of National Socialism. Appointment m Vienna is remarkable historical testimony. Esther Menaker provides a precious account of the analysts who were fiercely committed to the defense and development of Freudian psychoanalysis. And she illuminates the shortcomings of "orthodoxy" that later led her and her husband to explore new theories and to experiment with a more humanistic patient / analyst relationship.
