Although Adolf Meyer, first director of the Phipps Clinic at John Hopkins, did much to promote a knowledge of psychoanalysis in the United States, he never identified his views with those of Freud. Using unpublished letters and documents, the present paper seeks to clarify Meyer's attitude towards psychoanalysis by focusing on his dealings with one of Freud's most gifted followers, Ernest Jones, at a critical moment in the reception of psychoanalysis in America. In particular, an effort is made to identify some of the personal, intellectual, and institutional factors that shaped Meyer's response to Freud.
尽管约翰·霍普金斯大学菲普斯诊所的首任主任阿道夫·迈耶在推动美国对精神分析的认识方面做出了诸多贡献，但他从未将自己的观点与弗洛伊德的观点等同起来。本文利用未发表的信件和文件，通过聚焦于在美国精神分析接受过程中的一个关键时刻，迈耶与弗洛伊德最有天赋的追随者之一欧内斯特·琼斯的交往，试图阐明迈耶对精神分析的态度。特别是，努力找出一些塑造迈耶对弗洛伊德反应的个人、智力和制度因素。
