Languages: English
The History Committee for Psychoanalytic Society of Los Angeles came into being in the early 1960s.
The Committee was chaired by Dr. Alfred Kandelin.
The Committee attempted to implement historical narratives with regard to Psychoanalytic movement in Los Angeles and specifically of the history of Psychoanalytic Study Group of Los Angeles
This Collection comprises the interviews and transcript of them conducted with the founding members and other regular members of the Psychoanalytic Study Group of Los Angeles beginning in the early 1930s. Additionally the documents and recollections as well as reflections on the fateful Dissension (The Split) of the 1950s on the Old and New Institutes were the focus of the Committee’s work.
Resultant of the Committee work, this collection comprises personal interviews, later transcribed in the form of testimonies as well as individual reflections on the causation and ramifications of the Dissention of the 1950s.
Often the views of the founding members the members who later joined the Psychoanalytic Study Group of Los Angeles would diverge in the terms of conceptual analysis and principles of Psychoanalysis.
This Collections includes the follwing intervews and the corresponding transcripts,

It is visible that the History Committee perceived the Dissention and the earlier History of Psychoanalytic Movement in Los Angeles in somewhat their own terms.
However, presented here documentation in the form of personal testimonies, reflections and essays enables to establish more or less truthful and comprehensive perspective on the role of the Psychoanalytic Study Group of Los Angeles in course of the ten most fruitful years, 1935 – 1946 in historically objective light.
A great deal of attention was given to such prominent figures as Dr. Ernst Simmel and Dr. Otto Fenichel.
Although, reflections and personal opinions may differ, a broader picture, of professional and scholarly activity of the Psychoanalytic Study Group in 1935 – 1946 has been fully corroborated.
It should be noted that the events precipitating the actual split and deposing of Dr. Ernst Simmel played a crucial and in all eventuality a regressive role in the further integrity of the Psychoanalytic Movement in Los Angeles.
Largely the interviews were conducted by Dr. Kandelin, Dr. Stoller, Dr. Horowitz, Dr. Arthur Qurieff
These interviews were conducted in relation to the History Committee project of narrating the History of Psychoanalytic movement in Los Angeles
