Max Horkheimer and Theodor W. Adorno, the proponents of a "critical theory of society" exemplified an historical/ philosophical scepticism regarding the place of the Subject in a capitalistic society, as well as towards the explanatory value of Psychoanalysis. In spite of this they were very active in supporting the reestablishment of Psychoanalysis in postwar Germany. These efforts were evidenced in practice within the setting of the so called "reeducation" programme, designed to overcome national-social attitudes in education and culture. During their American exile both Horkheimer and Adorno worked extensively with psychoanalysts. On the basis of this experience they organised many lectures and congresses on Psychoanalysis when they returned to Frankfurt. This paper examines more closely their cooperation with Friedrich Hacker, Alexander Mitscherlich, Heinrich Meng and Bruno Bettelheim.
