About the event
Sándor Ferenczi was Freud's colleague and friend, and later his chosen successor, becoming the first professor in psychoanalysis. It was Ferenczi that popularized Freud's scientific studies after being shunned for years in Vienna. Their relationship ended up in a fatal quadrangle when Ferenczi fell in love with Elma, the daughter of his partner Gizella who was eight years his senior (and already married). He couldn't choose between the two women and finally turned to Freud for advice. Ferenczi married Gizella, but the relationship between him and Freud quickly deteriorated thereafter, with Ferenczi's resentment and feeling of being manipulated. The drama of this Ferenczi-Freud-Gisella-Elma quadrangle highlights the birth of psychoanalysis through turbulent times and shows its importance as well as its defects in its infancy.
