Search for documents from the history of psychoanalysis

The Psychoanalytic Document Database (PADD) catalogs letters, manuscripts and documents relevant to the history of psychoanalysis and currently includes more than 8,000 entries. Selected documents are also available in facsimile form as scans.

We propose you on this page a link to the EU-supported project PADD although it is not an IPA project. PADD makes primary sources in the history of psychoanalysis such as letters, manuscripts and other documents available in an online catalog. Additionally, PADD offers information in a knowledge database on the life and works of the key exponents of psychoanalysis including bibliographies of their respective primary and secondary literature. The catalog database is web-based and involves no time-consuming software installation, the access is free. Thus it is particularly well suited for use by smaller or private archives as an archive catalog.
