In the Clinical Diary of Sándor Ferenczi, certain codes and abbreviations are used to refer to the eight patients Ferenczi was treating in 1932. The identities of two patients are known to us. Notably, Dm. (Clara Thompson), and R.N. (Elizabeth Severn), but the others have remained a mystery. This paper uncovers the identities of the other patients in the Diary, and, for the first time, reveals their identities and life stories. Biographical notes on these patients are provided to expand and contextualize our understanding of their lives-Who were they? What kind of families did they come from? And what happened to them after their analyses? The process of uncovering their identities and the ethics of writing about historical patients will also be addressed.
在桑多尔·费伦齐的临床日记中,使用了某些代码和缩写来指代费伦齐在1932年治疗的八位患者。我们已知其中两位患者的身份。值得注意的是,Dm.(克拉拉·汤普森)和R.N.(伊丽莎白·塞文),但其他患者的身份一直是个谜。本文揭开了日记中其他患者的身份,并且首次披露了他们的身份和人生故事。提供了这些患者的传记笔记,以拓展并将我们对他们生活的理解置于具体情境中——他们是谁?他们来自什么样的家庭?分析结束后他们又发生了什么?还将探讨揭开他们身份的过程以及撰写历史患者相关内容的伦理问题。
