Scope and content
The earliest correspondence, from 1919 to 1920, primarily concerns arrangements for the Hague Congress in 1920. There is a single letter from 1923 from van Ophuijsen typed in German. Correspondence from 1927 to 1932 is mainly regarding the issue of lay analysts, especially within the American groups and the financial problems of the Verlag (German Psychoanalytic Press). From 1932 onwards many of the letters discuss divisions and problems within the Dutch group.
There is an increase in volume of correspondence in 1933, with many of the letters concerning the arrangements for the emigration and resettlement of analysts from Germany and other affected states, resulting from Nazi anti-semitism. These include references to Dutch analysts' concern over German émigrés to Holland and Eitingon’s emigration to Palestine. Topics also covered are continuing problems within the Dutch group and the New York Society and the death of Sandor Ferenczi.
The later correspondence, from 1934 to 1936, is mainly regarding the Lucerne Congress, the new Dutch society and the Scandinavian and South African societies.
