Max Eitingon's main achievement was the foundation of the Berlin psychoanalytic Poliklinik that served both as an outpatient center and a training institute. Another area of his responsibility was the Verlag, the International Psychoanalytic Press. By 1926, he occupied several leading positions, including presidency of the International Psychoanalytical Association and editorship of the major psychoanalytic journal of the time. The basis of his power was his personal relationship with Freud, as well as his monetary wealth, which he put into the service of the Freudian cause. By 1932, he had suffered an overall setback, however, with the Berlin Institute losing its best teachers, the Verlag barely escaping bankruptcy, and the journal's editorship returning to Vienna.

Psychoanal Q
April 2015
Training and Supervising Analyst of the Israel Psychoanalytic Society, a faculty member of the Max Eitingon Institute for Psychoanalysis, and an Adjunct Associate Professor at Tel-Aviv University.
The author offers some thoughts on reading and teaching Freud, on translating Freud, on translation in general, and on a possible kinship between translation and the psychoanalytic process. His reading of Freud's works, and the years he spent translating them into Hebrew and editing Hebrew editions of his writings, have made a deep and salient impression on his personal psychoanalytic palimpsest. The author began this labor prior to his psychoanalytic training and has no doubt that, to this day, the experience greatly shapes not only his attitude toward Freud himself, but also the nature of how he listens to patients and the way he thinks and writes about psychoanalysis.

His ten Jerusalem years highlight a multifaceted personality that does not quite correspond to his usual image as a "grey eminence" of the international psychoanalytic movement: enthusiastic, vivid, highly involved in various--artistic, scientific, academic, social and pedagogic--acitivities of zionism in Palestine. In contrast, his last years were overshadowed by illness, financial ruin und the tragedies of war.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBased on unpublished archival material (Eitingon's yearly reports, account statements), this paper enriches and modifies the hitherto commonly accepted image of the Berlin Polyclinic. It highlights the fact that the indigent patients treated there contributed considerably to the budget by paying fees, albeit relatively low ones. While confirming that Eitingon largely funded the clinic, it also points out (what has hardly been known before) that he reduced his support in 1928 and stopped it altogether in 1931.
