The author presents notes toward an intellectual biography of Spotnitz, which he considers desirable for solidifying the position of modern psychoanalysis as a distinct body of theory within the larger discipline of psychoanalysis. Spotnitz's experiences of Berlin while in medical school and his relationship with the New York Psychoanalytic Institute are considered for the light they may shed on the emotional sources for the development of modern psychoanalysis.
