Re: Bill Wilson and Karen Hornet New York early 1940¡¯s


 

Hi, Barry?
I don't have anything?about her being?his analyst but...

"Bill Wilson¡¯s name was linked to that of three of the NeoFreudians: Adler, Horney, and Jung. His mother, Dr. Emily Griffith Wilson, had studied with Adler in Vienna, and after taking up residence in San Diego, California, lectured on Adlerian psychiatry and maintained a practice as an Adlerian psychoanalyst. In a 1956 letter, Bill W. gave special praise to the writings of another famous Neo-Freudian, Karen Horney. It should further be noted that from 1945 to 1949, Bill was working continuously on his depression with a psychiatrist named Dr. Frances Weeks (Wickes) who was a Jungian, and that the psychiatrist Carl Jung was also usually regarded as one of the Neo-Freudians, even if of a different sort.81"

and

"He (Ollie)?sends Bill some material on Karen ±á´Ç°ù²Ô±ð²â¡¯²õ Neurosis and Human Growth)

From "Fr. Ed Dowling" Glenn S.

81 ).? On Karen Horney, see Bill W., letter to Ollie in California, January 4, 1956, as cited in Fitzgerald, The Soul of Sponsorship 41. (see screenshot below)?

Some years ago I had a reference that Bill Wilson was linked with noted psychoanalyst Karen Horney.?
Karen had moved from Chicago to New York in 1934.
As I recall it , Karen was his analyst for a while.
It may have been in the old AA HistoryLovers group. Any clues about that ?in the community?
