Adolf Albrecht Friedlander 1870 - 1949

Adolf Albrecht Friedlander 1870 - 1949 was a German Jewish homeopath and Psychiatrist and a Titular Professor in Berlin, and at the Hohe Mark Sanatorium, near Frankfurt.

Adolf Albrecht Friedlander also lectured on homeopathy in Frieburg where he held a Professorship. Friedlander was a Peace Advocate in 1912, and he wrote several political treatise to this effect. Friedlander argued that Kaiser Wilhelm was a victim of inbreeding and mental instability.

Adolf Albrecht Friedlander addressed the Third Congress of the General Medical Council in 1928, arguing for a consensus in medicine between homeopathy and allopathy, and condemning the over prescription of drugs.

Carl Gustav Jung wrote to Sigmund Freud about an article by Adolf Albrecht Friedlander, who was quite a foe of psychoanalysis (or just of Sigmund Freud?) In the fall and winter of 1908, Adolf Albrecht Friedlander treated one of Sigmund Freud’s patients, Sergei Konstantinovitch Pankejeff - the ‘Wolf Man’, in his sanatorium near Frankfurt, and he attracted some severe criticism from Sigmund Freud as a result.

This particular spat got quite nasty! In fact Adolf Albrecht Friedlander was simply criticising the negative portrayal of women in Sigmund Freud’s theory of sexuality, and he was an enthusiastic advocate of psychoanalysis.

Adolf Albrecht Friedlander wrote Wilhelm II. Eine politisch psychologische Studie, Das Konnersreuther Wunder?, and books on Psychoanalysis, and he contributed to Psychiatry journals. Adolf Albrecht Friedlander also contributed his homeopathic cases to homeopathic journals which were widely circulated in America. He was a particular advocate of the homeopathic remedy Camphor.
