'The San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis Archives' Record Unit/Accession # and/or Collection Title.
The San Francisco Psychoanalytic Institute & Society was founded in 1942 in San Francisco by Emigre analysts from Austria,
Germany, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, and other German-speaking countries. They founded a psychoanalytic institute in San Francisco,
California similar to those that existed in Europe in the pre WW-II period. During the period that the San Francisco Psychoanalytic
Institute & Society existed, which was until the organization was reorganized in the mid-1990's into the San Francisco Center
for Psychoanalysis, it served as a training institute for classical Freudian psychoanalysis, with a full post-doctoral (or,
earlier, post-MD) program. Meetings and classes were held at Mt. Zion Hospital until the construction of a building to house
the society in 1962, located at 2380 Sutter Street. SFPI&S was disbanded when discussions among the management of the institute
decided that a new organization was needed to meet the needs of a new century. These archival artifacts represent the earlier
institution.
This collection contains numerous documents relevant to SFPI&S history. Materials within this collection include correspondence,
photographs, manuscripts, expense records, news clippings, oral histories, and other documents detailing both the institution's
history and significant figures associated with it. Individuals with materials in this collection include Anna Freud, Erik
Erikson, Emmanuel Windholz, Siegfried Bernfeld, Jacob Kasanin, and Bruno Bettelheim. Relating to the institution's history,
there are brochures, ledgers, committee minutes, rundbriefes (newsletters) describing international psychoanalytic activities,
and documents detailing the history of psychoanalysis in San Francisco.
This collection is in its original order.
