November 27, 1928. Dr. Fritz Wittels, of Vienna, read a paper on 'The Various Schools of Psychology derived from Psycho-analysis: Jung, Watson, Adler and the Configurationists'. The paper dealt in an enlightening way on the theoretical necessities out of which the departures of Jung and Adler arose, and showed how these two were really abortive and hasty attempts to work out the problem which Freud has since done in his works from Totem and Tabu to Hemmung, Symptom u. Angst. The thing they were working toward was a scientific conception of the super-ego. Neither the Adlerian conception of the 'Social Feeling' or Jung's 'Racial Unconscious' fills the needs which the Freudian 'Super-Ego' does.
At the Executive session it was decided that the December meeting be held in joint session with the American Psycho-Analytical Association.
