Correspondence from Crowley to Max Schneider

 

[EXTRACT]

     

 

 

[5 October 1944]

 

 

There are only three authors on the subject [psychoanalysis] worth reading, the original Freud, Adler [Alfred Adler] and Jung. . . . To my mind the best of the three is Adler, whom, of course, I know personally; with him I did actually work when I was in Berlin. He could only come up from Vienna for a fortnight every year, and I handled some of his patients in his absence. But then I put a lot of my own theory in practice into it. Adler's great advantage is that he did not leave go of commonsense, and this is the only psychoanalyst that I have ever met of whom I can say this.
