Johannes Reichmayr, psychoanalyst and psychohistorian from Vienna has, often in collaboration with Elke Mühlleitner given important contributions to the history of psychoanalysis. They published 1992 Biographisches Lexicon der Psychoanalyse. Die Mitglieder der Psychoanalytischen Mittwoch-Gesellschaft und der WienerPsychoanalytischen Vereinigung 1902-1938. They contributed to the documentation of The cultural exodus from Austria with a chapter on the extensive emigration of psychoanalysts from Austria during the nazi regim. This psychoanalytic migration had deepgoing consequences for the psychoanalytic movement. The center of gravity was displaced from Vienna, Berlin and Budapest to London and New York, from German to Anglo-Saxon language and cultural tradition. This displacement in the psychoanalytic tradition has in connection with other factors influenced the development of film, literature and art during the second half of the twenties century. In psychoanalysis as well as in other areas, English has become the dominating language. A consequence of this is that the development of ideas in for example the German-and Frenchspeaking countries has remained relatively unknown in those parts of the world where the English language has a hegemonic position.
A field in the interface between psychoanalysis and anthropolgy is Ethnopsyhoanalyse. It is fairly little known in the englishspeaking world. In the rapid development of globalization the research and knowledge which has been accomplished in these areas deserve to be more generally known and studied
Reichmayr published in 2003 a new, expanded edition of his Ethnopsychoanlyse. Geschichte, Konzepte, Anwendungen. (Psychosozial Verlag). This is an ample exposition of anthropologic or intercultural psychoanalysis, its methods and concepts. Especially the founders of the German tradition, the Swiss analysts Paul Parin, Goldy Parinh-Matthey and Fritz Morgenthaler and their work are extensively described.
