Indian Psychoanalytical Society
www.ipsonline.in.netIndian Psychoanalytical Society was established on 26th January, 1922. Its founder, Dr. Girindrasekhar Bose (more popularly known as G. Bose) (1886 – 1953) had a medical degree from Calcutta University in 1910, a Master’s in psychology from Calcutta University in 1917. In 1921 Dr. Bose was awarded the D.Sc. degree of Calcutta University for his original thesis The Concept of Repression. This same year records the beginning of contact between Bose and Freud when Bose sent a copy of his thesis Concept of Repression to Freud for his comments. On May 29th, 1921, Freud writes in reply that he was “glad to testify the correctness of its principal views and the good sense appearing in it.” When it was published as a book, Freud wrote in its preface that “It was a great and pleasant surprise that the first book on a psychoanalytic subject which came to us from that part of the world (India) should display so good a knowledge of Psychoanalysis, so deep an insight into its difficulties and so much of deep-going original thought…”. Correspondence between Bose and Freud continued till 1937. This correspondence has been published by the Indian Psychoanalytical Society in the form a book. Interest in the Bose-Freud correspondence is still alive. Very recently the Library of Congress, USA, sought our permission to upload it in its Freud archive for research purposes. A French translation of the Bose-Freud Correspondence has been published in 2019 by Livio Boni – an Italian researcher. A Spanish translation of the book is being done by Adriana Ponzoni of Uruguay Psychoanalytical society.
