Olga Hönig and Helene Stiasny: Two patients of Freud in the 1890s
The interviews Kurt R. Eissler conducted in the 1950s with Herbert Graf ("Little Hans"), his father Max Graf and the writer Robert Scheu provide important information about two of Freud´s early patients. Helene Stiasny who has been unkown up to date, was treated by Freud in 1894 and her friend Olga Hönig, the mother of "little Hans", in 1897. The two young women told their fiancés Max Graf and Robert Scheu of Freud, thus the men became interested in psychoanalysis. In both cases Freud gave explicit advice whether his patients should marry in view of their mental illness. While Olga Hönig married Max Graf and had a family, Helene Stiasny stayed single. In later years she developed schizophrenia leading to her internment in a psychiatric hospital for the last ten years of her life.
