Provenance

The Franz Alexander Papers were donated to the Oskar Diethelm Library, DeWitt Wallace Institute for the History of Psychiatry at Weill Cornell Medical College by Dr. Daniel Pollock in 2014. These papers were given to Daniel Pollock’s father, Dr. George Pollock, by Franz Alexander’s children in 1992. George Pollock, a psychiatrist, was a former director of the Institute for Psychoanalysis in Chicago and former president of the American Psychiatric Association. He had a close personal and professional relationship with Alexander and was working on a biography of him at the time of his death in 2003.

Administrative/Biographical Note Franz Gabriel Alexander (1891-1964), renowned Hungarian psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, was born January 22, 1891 in Budapest. He is often described as one of the founders of psychosomatic medicine for his work in identifying emotional tension as a cause of physical illness. He is also known for using psychoanalytic theories to study criminal behavior. Alexander enrolled as the first student in the Berlin Psychoanalytic Institute in 1919. While there, he underwent a personal analysis with Hanns Sachs and later became an assistant at the Institute. His first book, The Psychoanalysis of the Total Personality (1930), grew out of a lecture series he presented at the Institute in 1924-25. Alexander was invited to the United States in 1930 to serve as Visiting Professor of Psychoanalysis at the University of Chicago, a new post created specifically for him. After a year in Chicago, Alexander moved to Boston and completed a study of delinquency with William Healy. This work was presented in their book, Roots of Crime (1935). In 1932, he returned to Chicago to help establish the Chicago Institute for Psychoanalysis and served as its director until 1956. As director, he sought to attract many analysts and students who researched and studied emotional disorders and psychosomatic diseases. He published another book in 1950, Psychosomatic Medicine: Its Principles and Practices. Alexander also served as a faculty member in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Illinois Medical School in Chicago from 1938-1956. He held many other posts, fellowships and consultancies during his professional years. In 1956 he became Chief of Staff of the new Psychiatric Department at Mount Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles and Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Southern California. He also served as a training and supervising analyst at the Southern California Psychoanalytic Institute. He died March 8, 1964 in Palm Springs, California.

Scope and Content This collection contains correspondence, documents, publications and professional writings, notes, photographs and other personal and professional materials dating from 1901-1986, with the bulk of the material dating to the 1930s. The majority of the materials are in English, but there are a few letters/documents in German, Hungarian, and Italian. The papers are divided into six series: Franz Alexander Correspondence (1927-1986), Franz Alexander General Files (1931-1981), Franz Alexander Miscellaneous/Personal Files (1901-1956), Anita Alexander Files (1932-1964), Reprints, Publications, etc. (1925-1961), and Photographs (1927-1964). The papers came to the library already organized into categories by correspondence, other files, reprints and publications, and photographs. This original order has been maintained. In most cases, the individual folder structure has also been maintained, as the correspondence and the reprints/publications were organized alphabetically. There was an index done at some point listing the contents of each of the original boxes and the title of each folder. A copy of this list is stored with the collection. The collection is comprised of 16 document boxes and one flat print box for photographs, comprising a total of 17 boxes.

Series I: Franz Alexander Correspondence, 1927-1986, bulk 1933-1939 (Boxes 1-5) This series, arranged alphabetically by author, contains Alexander’s correspondence with colleagues and other entities, mostly professional in nature, but some personal.

Series II: Franz Alexander General Files, 1931-1981, bulk 1935-1942 (Boxes 6-8) This series is arranged alphabetically by the name of the organization, company, or group and has been kept in the original order.
