In an interview that took place in 1975, Henry A. Murray described his meeting in early 1938 with Sigmund Freud. Topics that are covered include Murray's observation of Freud's personality, his comparison of Freud and Carl G. Jung, and his remarks on psychologist Gordon Allport's description of Allport's own visit with Freud. Information about Freud that emerged from the meeting, according to Murray, includes Freud's fondness for the novel, Moby-Dick, and the author, Mark Twain; his lack of interest in experimental studies of psychoanalytic propositions; and his tendency to make Oedipal interpretations that seemed simplistic to Murray.
