ALS in German, signed “Freud,” on a 5 x 3.5 personal card, January 3, 1932. Letter to Professor Roy Grinker of the University of Chicago. In full (translated): “If the level of Chicago University and its Press are to be judged by this example!! But let’s hope that would be an injustice.” In fine condition, with some light mounting remnants on reverse.
Serving as a neurology professor at Northwestern University, Roy Richard Grinker, Sr. sought to expand his studies into a broader interdisciplinary approach. In 1932, shortly before publishing his first major book, he received a Rockefeller fellowship to travel to Vienna and become a patient of the legendary Sigmund Freud. Despite the 50-year age gap and Freud’s declining health, the two got on quite well and Freud conducted months of analysis on the young doctor. When Glinker returned to America he joined the new psychiatry department at the University of Chicago and began to devote a portion of his research time to psychosomatic medicine. He quickly became a leader in the emerging field, using his experiences with Freud’s analysis to enhance his neurological studies. He later founded the Institute of Psychosomatic and Psychiatric Research and Training at Michael Reese Hospital in Chicago, where he remained until 1989. A boldly penned letter tying Freud to one of his last patients, an ambitious young man who put Freud’s practices to work, greatly influencing the shape of American neurology.
