6. See Rubenstein (1968), Cuddihy (1974), Robert (1976), Klein (1981), and Ostow (1982), among others.
7. One exception to the neglect of Freud’s involvement with Christianity is noted in the Acknowledgments: Gregory Zilboorg’s Psychoanalysis and Religion (1962). See also an earlier publication of mine (Vitz, 1983). Another relevant book, which I came across as this book was going to press, is J. R. Dempsey’s Freud, Psychoanalysis, Catholicism (1956). Dempsey clearly anticipated aspects of my thesis about Freud’s attraction to Catholicism, as represented especially by his desire to visit Rome. 8. S. Freud (1900, S.E., 4, p. 247). The nanny’s dismissal has been commonly connected with the period when Freud’s mother was in bed at the time his younger sister Anna was born on December 31, 1858—Freud would have been two years and eight months old on January 6, 1859. 9. Sajner (1968); Eissler (1978, p. 11). 10. Clark (1980, p. 5). 11. For the extremely strong Marian character of Czech Catholicism and the rationale for the title of “Marian Garden” for Moravia, see Nemec (1981). 12. Nemec (1981, p. 119). There must have been many more prior to the Communist takeover of Czechoslovakia. 13. Markham (1984, p. 1); see Nemec (1981) for additional evidence. 14. For example, see Jones (1953, Ch. 1) or Schur (1972, p. 22). 15. Sajner (1968, pp. 167-180). 16. Sajner (1968). For some time it was thought that the nanny was Monika Zajic, a member of the landlord’s family. Because of the Roznau spa registration, this is now know to be incorrect. (See note 19.) 17. For the family living arrangements, see Sajner (1968), Schur (1972), and Eissler (1978). 18. See Jones (1953, Ch. 5). 19. Krüll, (1979, p. 305, note 20); also confirmed by Sajner to Swales (personal communication). Krüll gives her name as “Rosi”; this mistake has been acknowledged by Krüll (personal communication, 1983). The nanny’s name was Resi. 20. Krüll (1979, p. 266); my translation. 21. “Theresa” had strong Catholic connotations, primarily because of the Catholic Archduchess of Austria, Queen of Hungary and Bohemia from 1740 to 1780, whose name was Maria Theresa (1717-1780). There are also a number of prominent saints bearing the name Theresa. 22. Jones (1953, p. 15). 23. Jones (1953, p. 6); Krüll (1979, p. 130). Sajner (1968) notes that Monika Zajic was at least some of the time the nanny for John and Pauline Freud. 24. Krüll (1979, pp. 149-161). 25. There was also a second wife, named Rebekka, between the first wife and Freud’s mother, Amalia. There is almost no information about her. In spite of one attempt to give her great psychological importance, she does not appear to have been important in Freud’s life. See Swales (1983d) for the most extensive summary of the historical information on this topic. |
