Papers of James Jackson Putnam

Papers contain chiefly incoming letters, from colleagues, friends, family members, and patients, as well as a few copies of letters written by Putnam; several letters belonging to his wife Marian Cabot Putnam; and manuscripts and documents of Putnam. His major correspondents include Ernest Jones, Susan E. Blow, William James, Edward Waldo Emerson, and Henry Pickering Bowditch. Other individuals represented in the papers include Elmer Ernest Southard, Edward Cowles, Sándor Ferenczi, Henry James, Morton Prince, Henry A. Christian, Lucy Washburn, and Elizabeth Tilton. There is also some correspondence with publishers contained in the papers. Letters of Ernest Jones discuss the work of Prince and Sigmund Freud, papers to be given at various professional meetings; and attendance at congresses on psychology, psychotherapy, and neurology; and Jones' views on dream analysis, alcoholism, and other subjects. William James' letters contain his thinking on Spencer's philosophy, his opposition to a proposed medical license, and mention of his health. Letters from Prince to Putnam pertain chiefly to his views on Freud. Topics covered in Blow's letters include educational issues in kindergartens and women's suffrage; they also reflect the development of her philosophical views over a 20 year period.
