BIAAS Austro-Americana Blog Series
Former BIAAS grant recipient, Elizabeth Ann Danto, wrote a blog entitled Freud and Tiffany, New York and Vienna. Dr. Danto received a BIAAS grant in 2011 for her research on the Viennese psychoanalyst and pediatrician, Josef Friedjung. Furthermore, as the overall director of the Freud/Tiffany Project, she organized and convened the accompanying Symposium which BIAAS supported at the Freud Museum London in 2016.
Excerpt from blog: At a time when Vienna was to the Western world what New York is today, Louise Tiffany was reading Freud’s newly-published Interpretation of Dreams in German. Twenty years later, Dorothy, the daughter of Louise and Louis Comfort Tiffany, would take her own four children from New York to Vienna for safety and psychoanalysis and for respite from her complicated marriage to Robert Burlingham at its end. They arrived in 1925.
