Tribute to Freud by Hilda Doolittle, Norman Holmes Pearson, and Adam Philips is an English-language printed book that offers insight into psychotherapy and historical contexts. The book is intended for readers who want to delve into Freud's work and the impact of analysis on H.D.'s life.
In "Tribute to Freud," H.D. describes her therapeutic experience with Freud in 1933–34, while the city of Vienna was flooded with propaganda texts such as "Hitler gives work" and "Hitler gives bread." The book contains two parts: "Writing on the Wall," written ten years after her therapy, and "Advent," a journal during her analysis. In clear and poetic language, H.D. sketches a human portrait of Freud in his later life, complemented by Freud's own letters.
This publication, enriched with a new introduction by psychotherapist Adam Philips, aligns in content with biographies, psychiatry, and general literary collections.
