Dave Lee of UCLA has done extensive research on Pfister; his doctoral
dissertation on Pfister is nearly finished.  He can be visited at his
Website: www.sure.net/~davelee/cv.html.  The complete Freud/Pfister
correspondence (published only in heavily censored form) is accessible at
the Library of Congress (for those who can read German and Freud s Gothic
handwriting only, I am afraid).  I might also mention my "My Grand-Patient,
My Chief Tormentor. A Hitherto Unnoticed Case of Freud s and the
Consequences" (Psychoanalytic Quarterly, 1994, 63:297-331), dealing with a
patient treated by Freud, Pfister, and Jung, among others, who had great
importance for the Freud/Pfister and Freud/Jung relationships.  (Most of the
cut passages in the Freud/Pfister letters refer to her.)
