Dear Professor,
In spite of the unquiet times, there seems to be much scientific activity in Vienna. I was glad to hear about the development of the Verlag, the new editions, and the activity of the societies. There is naturally only a very modest amount of scientific life to report on from here. Our group now has three meetings a month, two of them on medical subjects and one on an topic. Last time Liebermann gave a lecture on certain bisexual phenomena in obsessional neurosis,1 with which I was rather pleased. Simmel must first become. He is not yet far beyond the cathartic stage and seems to me to be in need of analysis himself. Eitingon is unfortunately too unproductive. Frau Horney is very keen, the others are scientifically scarcely worth considering. Böhm from Munich, who is probably moving here in April, will apparently be a good acquisition.
I am writing a short paper about patients who persistently avoid free association and hope to send the manuscript to Rank in a week or two.
