History of psychoanalysis in Serbia in the twentieth century

Abstract

The development of psychoanalysis in Serbia was presented through the work of people in Serbia who spread psychoanalytic thought and practice through clinical and educational work. There were two main criteria for selection: a. didactic analysis, and b. establishment of associations. The first analysed psychoanalysts in Serbia were Nikola Šugar and Hugo Klein. After World War II Vojin Matić, which had passed three years in didactic analysis by Nikola Šugar, continue with educational activities and didactic analysis which passed about thirty candidates with him. The first round of his analysands was named 'matićevci' and they had continued with the educational work and didactic analysis of candidates. At the end of the twentieth century Tamara Štajner-Popović launched a campaign of international recognition of psychoanalysis in Serbia that ended in 2004 when Belgrade Psychoanalytical Society has become an equal member of the International Psychoanalytic Society. .

Razvoj psihoanalize u Srbiji je predstavljen kroz rad ljudi u Srbiji koji su širili psihoanalitičku misao i praksu kroz klinički i edukativni rad. Izdvojena su dva osnovna kriterijuma za odabir: a. didaktička analiza, i b. osnivanje udruženja. Prvi analizirani psihoanalitičari u Srbiji su Nikola Šugar i Hugo Klajn. Nakon II svetskog rata Vojin Matić, koji je prošao trogodišnju didaktičku analizu kod Nikole Šugara, nastavlja sa edukativnim radom i didaktičkom analizom koju je kod njega prošlo oko trideset kandidata. Prvi krug njegovih analizanada je dobio ime 'matićevci' i nastavio sa edukativnim radom i didaktičkim analizama kandidata. Krajem XX veka je Tamara Štajner-Popović pokrenula akciju međunarodnog priznavanja psihoanalize u Srbiji koja se završila 2004. kada je Beogradsko psihoanalitičko društvo postalo ravnopravan član Internacionalnog psihoanalitičkog društva. .
