Otto Fenichel was born on December 2, 1897 in Vienna. He decided to become a psychoanalyst and began his training while a medical student. He received his MD from the University of Vienna in 1921 and moved to Berlin in 1922 to complete his training at the Berlin Psychoanalytic Institute. He traveled to the Soviet Union in 1929 and 1932 and in 1933 went to Oslo to undertake the training of psychoanalysts, and did the same in Prague two years later. Fleeing the Nazis, he moved to Los Angeles in 1938. Fenichel was a Marxist, and insisted that psychology needed to be studied in a societal context; publications include (1934), (1941) and (1945). The collection consists of manuscripts, abstracts, drafts, reviews, notes, correspondence, memorabilia, and ephemera of Fenichel, manuscripts and abstracts of other psychologists, newsletters, and papers of Hanna Fenichel. Many materials are in German. The Outline of Clinical Psychoanalysis Problems of Psychoanalytic Technique The Psychoanalytic Theory of Neurosis
