Scope and content

Cuttings taken from a wide range of national and local newspapers, medical journals (especially the 'British Medical Journal' and the 'Lancet') and current affairs periodicals.

A substantial number of items date from the 1930s and 1950s and over half of the items are dated 1960-65; there are few articles prior to 1931 but many articles from this period can be found in Ernest Jones' cuttings albums (ref. P04-E).

Many of the articles reflect popular and scientific attitudes towards psychoanalysis. Articles from the late 1930s include a small number of reports on the emigration to London of Sigmund Freud in 1938 and reports on his death from many different countries in 1939. Articles from the 1950s and 1960s cover a wide range of psychoanalytical topics and other psychological and mental health issues, including articles assessing psychoanalysis and the work and legacy of Sigmund Freud.
