Towards the end of his life, Wittels wrote a 200-page memoir of his early life & career in Vienna. The typescript memoirs, are published here for the first time, accompanied by a range of little-known illustrations. Incomplete in places, the memoirs have been deftly edited, contextualized & introduced by Edward Timms, whose many valuable explanatory notes include the identification of the Ôchild woman' of the title. This book is of exceptional importance for the origins of psychoanalysis.
