Abstract
The article explores the auto/biographical narratives devoted to Freud written by his disciples. The
author argues that both biography and autobiography were important life-writing genres used
by psychoanalysts in the first half of the twentieth century to express their subjective views on
the history of the psychoanalytic movement. The chosen biographies of Freud shed light on the
close relationship between “subjective” autobiographical discourse (based on self-observation
and auto-analysis) and the “objective” role of a biographer. The author argues that the early auto/
biographies of Freud’s disciples presented a different history of psychoanalytic knowledge, where
the collective thinking and affective relationships are shown to be crucial in the development of
the psychoanalytic movement.
