Abstract:
|
When the psychiatrist Otto Pötzl joined the Vienna Psychoanalytic Association in 1917, an important protagonist of academic psychiatry was gained. Also Pötzl's appointment as head of the psychiatric clinic at the german-speaking Karl Ferdinands University in Prague between 1922 and 1928 cntributed to the development of psychoanalysis there. Above all, Pötzl's introductory lectures on psychoanalysis represented an initial encounter with psychoanalytic theory for individual medical students, who later advanced to become important protagonists of the psychoanalytic movement.
