Pioneering and highly influential founder of psychoanalysis (1856–1939) whose theories revolutionized the understanding the human psyche. ADS, in pencil, in German, signed “Freud,” one page both sides, 4.25 x 3.25, no date. Freud pens a psychiatric referral to an esteemed protégé, Dr. Hermann Nunberg. The Freudian psychoanalyst is requested to examine one Dr. Heinrich Glanz, a linguist and author of Jewish folklore, who developed a case of schizophrenia. In full, the penciled memo reads (translated): “Dr. Nunberg is requested to take the case of Dr. Glanz, whom he has diagnosed of his first schizophrenic attack, now at home still suffering from halluc[inations], to take into psychoanalysis when he reports.” In fine condition, with a central vertical fold and a rough top edge.

Perhaps it is little surprise that the famed neurologist would recommend the treatment that he developed in the 1890s for Nunberg’s patient! As noted, Nunberg was no novice in psychiatry either, yet he still consulted with his colleague Freud when it came to the treatment of a relatively high-profile case. For his part, Nunberg had been an assitant to Carl Jung and taught neurology in Vienna. In 1932, copies of Nunberg’s lectures were published, and in the preface of the publication, an impressed Freud wrote that the work "contains the most complete and conscientious presentation of a psycho-analytic theory of the neurotic processes which we at present possess.” The father of psychoanalysis, prescribing the very treatment he created.
