1 January 1922

After the First World War, several British analysts move to the major psychoanalytic centres in Vienna, Budapest and Berlin to be trained by the preeminent analysts of the period, including Sigmund Freud, Sándor Ferenczi and Karl Abraham. Joan Riviere travels to Vienna to be analysed by Freud. Riviere, who has already translated several of Freud's works before meeting him, goes on to become a major translator of his work into English. She also edits the first Collected Papers of Freud in English, published in 1924.
