        History

        The Ernest Jones Rehabilitation Fund was established in 1938 by Ernest Jones to help psychoanalysts and their families to escape Austria following the Nazi invasion and to establish new lives elsewhere. The fund, originally called 'The Austrian Fund', was initially run by Ernest Jones and his secretary Miss Taylor, but Eva Rosenfeld was soon appointed honorary secretary and administered its affairs until 1965.

        Following the war, the fund was renamed the Ernest Jones Rehabilitation Fund and previous recipients of grants from the fund were asked to repay the money they had received in order to send financial assistance to psychoanalytic colleagues living in communist regimes in Eastern Europe. The fund also provided occasional books and journal subscriptions and financial assistance to allow psychoanalysts to attend Congresses of the International Psychoanalytical Association. A further appeal began in late 1954 to raise funds from analysts in the UK, USA and other countries in order to send care packages to colleagues in Hungary.

        The fund was later divided into two organisations, with the Psychoanalytic Assistance Fund Inc established in the USA in 1957 to manage larger sums of money. From 1965, it appears that the work of the Ernest Jones Rehabilitation Fund was largely discontinued.
