British Psychoanalytical Society
The British Psychoanalytical Society was founded by Ernest Jones as the London Psychoanalytical Society on 30 October 1913. It is one of two organisations in Britain training psychoanalysts, the other being the British Psychoanalytic Association.
Freud and the members of the Inner Circle, including Ernest Jones.
Sigmund Freud fled Austria in 1938, settling in Hampstead, London. He never formally joined the society, but his close friendship with Ernest Jones, and the sudden influx of continental analysts due to the rise of the Nazi Party, meant that the status of the society was greatly enhanced during the Interwar period.
