Biographical Note
Return to the Table of Contents Scope and Content NoteThe papers of Alfred Adler (1870-1937) span the years 1888-1975, with the bulk of material dating from 1928 to 1937. The papers contain correspondence, lectures, articles, manuscript of a book, an appointment book, patient case studies and record books, reports, notes, photographs, certificates, clippings, and printed matter. The major part of the collection consists of letters written by Adler to his wife and children between 1897 and 1937 and drafts of lectures and articles, many of which Adler wrote while residing in the United States. Correspondence with people outside the Adler family includes a letter written by Albert Einstein in 1937 comparing the theories of Sigmund Freud and Adler. A small amount of material was added to the collection in 1996 and 2001. The addition includes, among other items, letters from Adler to a former student, G. Margery Allen, a letter from John Haynes Holmes concerning the relocation of Adler's clinic to the Community Church in New York City, congratulatory letters on Adler's sixtieth birthday, drafts of six lectures, and correspondence concerning Adler's death. An undated note by Adler concerning a patient and a photograph of Adler were added in 2001. A microfilm edition of the first three containers is available. Patient record books and material added to the collection in 1996 and 2001 have not been filmed. Return to the Table of Contents Selected Search TermsPeople
