Presentation copy to John Von Neuman: "To John Von Neuman -- Perhaps one day psychoanalysis will make use of your inspired mathematics. Kenneth Mark Colby". A nice association copy. After several decades of practicing psychoanalysis, Colby became disenchanted with it, largely because of its inability to generate reliable and replicable data. He turned his attention to cognitive psychology and artificial intelligence and pioneered the development of psychiatric software. In the 1960s he developed a natural language program called "Parry" that simulated paranoid thinking. In the early 1970s Parry was the first software program to pass the Turing test, when human interlocutors, communiating with Parry via a remote keyboard, were unable to distinguish Parry from a paranoid person. Later, Colby was one of the first psychiatrists to appreciate the possibilities of computer-assisted psychotherapy. Inquire | Order $100.00

In English to his American nephew Edward Bernays, closed "Your affectionate uncle" (typed) and signed "Sigm." The text reads "In my last letter a few months ago I proposed to you on the suggestion of Judith that the amount left of the 1000 Dollars sent to your aunts by your mother should not be sent back but keep here to pay off a set of contributions promised to Grandma. I hope you did receive that letter but you never answered it and the monthly contributions 100 Dollars each, continued to arrive at their time. [paragraph] I am sending you in this letter two receipts which your aun t Martha got for paying off old debts. They amount to 190 Dollars and the rest in my hands is still 810. Now, I propose to you on my own account that you should keep the royalties you get from Boni and Liveright until the sum of Dollars 810 is paid off, instead of sending them to the Rekonstruktie Bank, The Hague, account of Dr. A. Brill. If you agree you have only to pst me a card when the next royalties come in." Inquire | Order $7500.00

Freud's wife, born Martha Bernays, had a brother, Eli. The two families became unusually bound as double in-laws when Freud's sister Anna married his wife's brother Eli. Around the turn of the century Anna and Eli emigrated to America where t hey raised their children, including Freud's nephew Edward Bernays (1891-1995) and his sisters Judith and Lucy. By the time he was thirty Edward Bernays had developed a new business discipline, public relations, which has had almost as far-reaching an ef fect on the world as the foundation of psychoanalysis by his uncle. At the time of this letter, Bernays was just beginning to operate as the world's first PR man. His pioneering research into the psychology of advertising and mass communications resulted in startling new theories of merchandising, which were put to the test soon after he opened an office in New York city. Eager to assist his uncle, Bernays had proved useful to Freud by arranging for the translation and publication by Boni and Liveright in 1920 of Freud's introductory lectures on as A General Introduction to Psychoanalysis, probably the first intellectually serious book ever marketed in the modern sense. Bernays convinced Liveright to publish the book, arranged for its translation, and then showed the young publishing firm how to sell it -- which it did, going into numerous printings with the entire 15% royalty being forwarded by Bernays to Freud. Those payments in US dollars helped Freud to survive economically at a time when his savings had been destroyed by the rampaging inflation in Central Europe. None the less, his uncle was not entirely enthusiastic about Edward's ideas to publish his books in America. As we know from many of his letters, Freud had a prejudice against America and Americans. Almost immediately upon opening the first PR firm, Bernays's business theories proved themselves correct. He succeeded in promoting Freud and psychoanalysis -- the General Introduction became the most widely read of Freud's books -- and went on to write several volumes that became the standard textbooks in the field he founded, public relations. Dr. Abraham Brill, who had emigrated to America before 1900, became Freud's earliest American apostle, founding the New York Psychoanalytic S ociety in 1912 and doing the first translations of Freud's books into English. In 1910 when Freud visited America, it was Brill who acted as chief guide. Here Brill is serving as a conduit for funds remitted in American dollars. Freud contributed to a fund that supported otherwise penniless family members, including his mother ("Grandma"), four aunts, three of his sisters (Dolfi, Mitzi, and Pauli Freud), and his wife's sister Minna Bernays. Freud's sister Anna (Edward Berna ys's mother) had apparently promised to contribute to the fund as well, but it seems she did not carry out her promise very well. Shortly after her husband Eli Bernays had died a few months earlier, Anna Bernays had written Freud, enclosing a check for a thousand dollars, and offered support for the poorer family members. Eli's sisters, including Freud's wife Martha ("aunt Martha") and Minna Bernays, declined the offer. The extended Freud/Bernays family was at that time in almost desperate need: not onl y was the chief bread winner for the entire clan, Sigmund, unable to work because of his mouth cancer, but inflation had destroyed the Austrian economy. The decision of the sisters to decline the offer was, in light of their desperate situation, extraordinary. There must have been hard feelings that had been simmering for decades. The circumstances under which Eli Bernays and his wife Anna Freud lef t Europe for America are unclear, but whatever the details, they obviously left a bad taste for Freud and his family. Now that Bernays (since become a rich man in America) had died, his widow was offering much needed assistance and being refused. A few w eeks earlier, when the $1,000 arrived, Freud had written Edward Bernays that his wife Martha had used $190 of the funds to pay off some bad debts his father had left behind decades earlier when he emigrated to America. Now Freud is suggesting that Edward Bernays keep his American royalties up to the amount of $810 that is left after the payment of bad debts.

A Possibly Unique Early Version of the First Psychological Profile of Hitler

41. Murray, Henry A[lexander] (1893-1988).

Confidential Memorandum Containing A. Brief Analysis of Hitler's Personality. B. Predictions of Hitler's Behavior. C. Suggestions for the Treatment of Hitler. D. Suggestions for the Treatment of the Germ an People. Submitted by Henry A. Murray, M.D. Harvard Psychological Clinic, Cambridge, Mass., Committee for National Morale, New York July, 1943. New York: 1943. 21 leaves mimeographed on rectos only. 4to. Three staples removed from the left margin, shee ts loose. Slight chipping to the upper left corner of the first three leaves, crease to the lower left corner of the first leaf. Very rare. With Murray's name in ink on the upper right margin of the first page "H. A. Murray" with "Hen" preceding the init ial "H." and blotted through (in the hand of the student he gave it to). With the then Harvard student's initials, who may well have worked on the report with Murray. We can trace the provenance directly to Murray through its later two owners. One of the most eminent 20th century American psychologists, Murray (who in the 1920s was a leading figure in the Melville revival) was appointed director of Harvard's Psychological Clinic in 1937 -- he had originally been hired there as an instructor by its found er, Morton Prince. Murray's reputation was secured by the 1938 publication with collaborators of Explorations in Personality, a book that essentially founded in America the modern psychological study of personality and that described numerou s projective techniques, including the Thematic Apperception Test. In 1943 Murray left Harvard for a position in the Army Medical Corps to help with the war effort. He established and directed the Office of Strategic Services, helping to invent the post- World War II espionage universe, as described in his book on the OSS published after the war.

A preliminary draft of the very first psychological profile of Hitler, in which Murray correctly predicted Hitler's suicide after the defeat of the German army -- quite possibly the only surviving copy. A version dated October 1943 exists and has been made publicly available at Cornell Law School's web site. As reported in the Cornell Daily Sun for April 6th, 2005, "only 30 copies of the report were ever printed, and many of those copies are missing or have been destroyed. Thoma s Mills, the international and foreign research attorney at the Law Library in charge of the Donovan collection ..., said that he only knows of three or four copies in existence today, including the one in the Donovan collection." The later version is co nsiderably longer and contains both an introductory summary and an opening section, "Hitler the Man: Notes for a Case History," written by W. H. D. Vernon. The study was done for the Office of Strategic Services (the "OSS"), the predecessor of the CIA. Until an article about Murray's report appeared on page A18 of the March 31st, 2005 New York Times, few people were aware of the existence of the Murray report -- it had been assumed that Walter Langer's well-known study of Hitler, which formed the basis for his best-selling 1972 book The Mind of Adolf Hitler, was the first psychological study of the Nazi dictator. Murray had worked with La nger and his report was ultimately absorbed into Langer's, with knowledge of Murray's earlier effort subsequently forgotten. This preliminary version of the report is largely identical to a section that constitutes about 20% of the October (presumably fi nal) report. There are, however, a few differences: for example, on the first page of the report we have Murray wrote "Hitler's personality is an extreme example of the counteractive type," which was changed in the October version to "Hitler's personalit y is an example of ..."
