BOX 1-14 Part I: General Correspondence, 1893-1975
The General Correspondence series includes letters exchanged with professional colleagues, students, institutional organizations, and friends that document Ernst Kris's role in the organization of group research projects, academic work, research, and publications. Originally trained in art history, Ernst Kris developed an interest in psychoanalysis through his wife, Marianne Kris, a psychoanalyst and friend of Sigmund Freud. He served as a training analyst at the Institute of Psychoanalysis in Vienna and published works on psychoanalytic theory, the creative mind, and art by people with mental health conditions. In 1938, Ernst Kris left Austria with Freud and other associates for London where he organized a program for the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) to monitor and analyze Nazi propaganda broadcasts. After briefly working on a similar task at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) in Montreal, he settled permanently in New York City, where he served as codirector of the analogous Research Project on Totalitarian Communication. Correspondence with Mark A. Abrams, John Scarlett Alexander Salt, and others in the British Broadcasting files pertains to events in England and Ernst Kris's work in Montreal and New York during World War II and includes many personal war stories. Letters exchanged with Anna Freud and Princess Marie Bonaparte relate mostly to the publication of Sigmund Freud's letters to Wilhelm Fliess in The Origins of Psychoanalysis in 1954. Other widely dispersed members of the Viennese psychoanalytic community are also represented in the correspondence. Letters exchanged with art historian Ernst H. Gombrich, with whom Ernst Kris worked on several occasions, reflect his continuing interest in art and the creative process. Organization and planning of projects for the study of infant development and gifted adolescents are documented in the Arthur Davison Ficke Foundation file, and Ernst Kris's teaching career is documented in files for the College of the City of New York and the New School for Social Research. Notable correspondents include Siegfried Bernfeld and Suzanne Cassirer Bernfeld, Gertrud Bing, Felix Deutsch and Helene Deutsch, K. R. Eissler and Ruth Selke Eissler, Otto Fenichel, Gladys Ficke, Edward Glover, Phyllis Greenacre, Heinz Hartmann, Willi Hoffer, Ernest Jones, Lawrence S.
