Résumé :

"Vive la liberté!!, comme on dit chez nous." Freud translates Charcot.
Freud’s stay at the Salpêtrière clinic in Paris with Jean-Martin Charcot in 1885/86 stands as a milestone in the development of psychoanalysis. In Paris, Freud also asked for permission to translate a book by Charcot into German. A few years later he translated a second book of Charcot, which was published under the title Poliklinische Vorträge from 1892 to 1894. In this translation, Freud added a large number of his own comments, some of which bluntly criticized Charcot’s point of view. Freud did this without first asking Charcot for permission or informing him of his procedure. In 1988 Charcot’s letters to Freud were published for the first time. There we find Charcot’s reaction to Freud’s action which has so far been commented on with great caution and examined insufficiently. The present contribution tries to close this gap. It also invites the reader to reflect on Freud’s dealings with his mentors. – In an appendix provided as a download, the extant letters from Charcot to Freud are presented in a French-German edition.
