Biographical history

Edward Glover was born on 13 Jan 1888 in Lesmahagow, Scotland. He began his medical career specialising in tubercular medicine, before his older brother James introduced him to psychoanalysis. Both brothers went to Berlin in 1920 to be analysed by Karl Abraham; Edward Glover became an associate member of the British Psychoanalytical Society in 1921 and a full member in 1922. When his brother died in 1926, Edward Glover took over many of his roles within the Society and by 1940 he was a member of all the main committees of the Society and the Institute of Psychoanalysis. Originally a supporter of Melanie Klein, he became one of her opponents during the Society's Controversial Discussions in the 1940s and subsequently resigned from the Society in 1944. Following this, he was granted honorary membership of the American and Swiss psychoanalytic societies. He died on 16 Aug 1972.

Scope and content

Two typescript copies of a German translation of Glover's contribution to a discussion with Karl Mannheim, held before the medical section of the British Psychological Society. The discussion, entitled 'Changes in our Psychic Economy caused by the War', was held in London in Mar 1940.

One copy is marked as 'for Dr Glover' and the other 'für Dr Bibring' and each is heavily annotated in a different hand. This may therefore be the translation produced by Lucie Freud for the 'Internationale Zeitschrift für Psychoanalyse und Imago', of which Edward Bibring was co-editor. Both contributions to the discussion were published in this journal under a different title (Glover E & Mannheim K. Uber die durch den Krieg verursachten Änderungen in unserer psychischen Ökonomie. 'Internationale Zeitschrift für Psychoanalyse und Imago'. 1940; XXV(3/4):336-355).
