THE PSYCHOANALYTIC SOCIETY OF PARIS celebrated the centenary of the birth of Sigmund Freud in November 1956 at the Congress of Romance Language Psychoanalysts which includes the Belgian, Italian, and Swiss Psychoanalytic Societies.
To commemorate Freud's sojourn in Paris in 1886 in the service of Charcot at the Salpêtrière, a plaque was dedicated in the amphitheater which bears a memorial to Charcot, recalling Freud's association with him.
Attending this ceremony were Monsieur André Le Trocquer, President of the National Assembly, and Professor Lajouanine, head of the Clinic of Nervous Diseases.
Addresses were made by Dr. Ernest Jones, Madame Marie Bonaparte, Dr. M. Bouvet, President of the Paris Psychoanalytic Society, and by Dr. S. Nacht of the Paris Institute of Psychoanalysis.
Professor Freud's family was represented by his son, Ernst Freud, in the absence of Anna Freud who was indisposed.
Monsieur Lechat spoke for the Belgian Society, and Dr. de Saussure for the Swiss Society, following which Dr. Francis Pasche paid homage to Professor Freud, the man and his works. In the discussion which followed, several participants emphasized the harmonious integration of his achievement with the humanistic sciences.
