   Freud spent an extended family holiday at Berchtesgaden while writing The Interpretation of Dreams, the work that became foundational to psychoanalysis.

    1920-09-01 · The Hague, South Holland, Netherlands

    

    Freud took part in the Sixth International Psychoanalytic Congress as the movement resumed regular international meetings after the war. Other congress records date the meeting to September 8–11, but this card retains the month precision directly supported across the cited exhibition and established congress chronology.

20. Appears with associates in Berlin

    1922-01-01 · Berlin, Germany

    

    Freud was photographed in Berlin with leading members of the psychoanalytic movement during the year of the last international congress he personally attended. The photograph is dated circa 1922, so only year precision and city-level coordinates are defensible.
