“…Bakan (1969) noted that in Freud's library there 'were a number of books on Kabbalah in German, and, most importantly, a copy of the French translation of the Zohar' (p. xviii). Trosman and Simmons (1973) list the books that Freud brought with him to London. The German translation of the Talmud, in 12 volumes, is listed (p. 660, no.…”

Sigmund Freud went to considerable effort to disguise his knowledge of the Hebrew language and Jewish primary sources. In this way he tried to prevent his new creation, psychoanalysis, from being seen as a ‘Jewish science’. The authors present new evidence that Freud had a considerable interest in, and knowledge of, Jewish religious texts. This is shown in an exchange of letters which have recently come to light, between the Los Angeles psychoanalyst, Dr Samuel Eisenstein, and the prominent Kabbalist and Chief Rabbi of Geneva, Rabbi Dr Alexandre Safran, which discuss a meeting that took place at Freud's request at his home in Vienna in 1934.

“…Le livre de Creuzer dont il fut alors question -Symbolique et mythologie des anciens peuples 33 -est un classique qui se trouve aussi dans la bibliothèque de Freud 34 . Mais, surtout, Creuzer est un des chefs de file de cette école comparatiste allemande vilipendée par Reinach et c'est donc sur ce dernier que compte s'appuyer Jung pour ancrer la causalité des névroses dans les vicissitudes de "l'histoire de l'espèce".…”

“…The Hinterberger Collection also contains translations of the 1876, or first, edition of Ferrier’s The Functions of the Brain (Ferrier, 1879), the book form of Ferrier’s Gulstonian Lectures of 1878 (Ferrier, 1880), and the English edition of the 1890 Croonian Lectures (Ferrier, 1890; Lewis & Landis, 1957; cf. Trosman & Simmons, 1973; Bakan, 1975; Eissler, 1979). The first two of these works contain a surprising amount of information about the Bain–Ferrier theory and Phineas Gage in relation to it.…”

The theories of thinking of Alexander Bain, David Ferrier, and Sigmund Freud are examined and their relation to Phineas Gage explored. During the 19th century Ferrier derived an inhibitory-motor theory of thinking from a similar theory of Bain's, and aspects of Freud's theory of thinking resemble both. All 3 theories were modeled on the sensory-motor reflex, and all proposed that thinking was inhibited action. Ferrier used his theory to explain the behavior of monkeys whose frontal lobes were ablated and the disinhibited behavior Phineas Gage exhibited after massive damage to his frontal lobes. I show there is some possibility that Freud knew the Bain-Ferrier theory of thinking and its application to Gage.
