ResumoTHROUGHOUT HIS LIFE Einstein maintained discussions with colleagues in virtually every discipline. His interactions with Freud on scientific matters—the best-known exchange Einstein had with the psychologists—are known not to have been satisfactory (e.g., Jones, 1963). They were constantly at loggerheads over whether psychoanalysis is a science. For example, a draft of Einstein’s reply circa 1927 to someone who suggested that Einstein permit himself to be psychoanalyzed reads thus: “I regret that I cannot accede to your request, because I should like very much to remain in the darkness of not having been analyzed” (Hoffmann and Dukas, 1979). Further evidence for Einstein’s disagreement with Freud’s psychoanalysis can be found in the Einstein Archives.
