Cicciola, Elisabetta (Author)
On the evening of September 23, 1897, Freud was initiated into the “Wien” Lodge of the Independent Order of B’nai B’rith (originally Bundes Brüder or “The Brothers of the Covenant”), immediately after his father‘s death, at a time anti-Semitism was spreading across the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Young Freud made his debut before the B’nai B’rith brothers on December 7, 1897, with a lecture on dreams which was enthusiastically received and which anticipated by two years the release of his famous Traumdeutung. It is upon this basis that the article aims to analyse the reasons that led the father of psychoanalysis to be initiated into the B’nai B’rith and remain linked to them all his life. At the same time, through rigorous research into the sources and rituals of the Order, conducted in the national archives of the B’nai B’rith preserved in Ohio, the Order’s history will be reconstructed starting from 1843 when the first lodge was built in New York. It was only open to Jews but followed rituals, an initiatory path and values similar to those used in Freemasonry. It also had the declared aim of combating anti-Semitism and promoting educational and philanthropic activity to encourage Jewish immigrants of different origins and traditions to integrate into American society. Lastly, the article highlights some of the aspects of Freud’s experience in B’nai B’rith that may have been sources in his construction of psychoanalysis.
