Acquisition Information
The papers of Heinz Hartmann, psychoanalyst and author, and Dora Hartmann,
psychoanalyst and educator, were given to the Library of Congress by the Sigmund Freud
Archives between 1960 and 1987.
Processing History
The papers of Heinz and Dora Hartmann were arranged and described by David Mathisen in
1986. Invitations sent to Heinz Hartmann, 1928-1931, and Hartmann’s application to the
University of Vienna medical faculty were added to the papers by Margaret McAleer and
Brian McGuire in 2002. Some folders were rearranged at that time. Patient records were
administratively restricted in 2008, and the finding aid was revised in 2019 to reflect
these changes.

Scope and Content Note
The papers of Heinz Hartmann (1894-1970) and Dora Hartmann (1902-1974) span the years
1928-1974, with the bulk of the material dated 1944-1974. The collection consists of
correspondence, memoranda, reports, minutes, drafts of writings, patient files, bylaws,
brochures, lists, and printed matter pertaining principally to the Hartmanns’ work with
the New York Psychoanalytic Institute and to Heinz Hartmann’s writing and editorial
projects. The papers are in English, German, French, and shorthand. They are arranged in
three series ; the [Heinz
Hartmann Papers](heinzpap), [Dora Hartmann Papers](dorapap), and a [Closed](closed) series.
The [Heinz Hartmann
Papers](heinzpap) include general correspondence, a subject file, writings, and a small
group of miscellaneous papers. The general correspondence consists primarily of incoming
correspondence and relates to Hartmann’s writing and editorial projects, most notably
The Psychoanalytic Study of the Child
, and to his involvement in psychoanalytic organizations including the New York
Psychoanalytic Institute and the International Psycho-Analytical Association. Additional
material on Hartmann’s organizational affiliations is located in the subject file.
Prominent correspondents include Princess Marie Bonaparte, Otto Fenichel, Anna Freud,
Ernst Kris, Lawrence S. Kubie, Sacha Nacht, Max Schur, and Martin H. Stein.
The writings file includes some of Hartmann’s book reviews, an article on Sigmund Freud,
early articles on twins, and an article on the superego coauthored with Rudolph Maurice
Loewenstein. Featured in the writings file is a large assemblage of unpublished
manuscripts and notes, some in shorthand, which illuminate Hartmann’s influence as a
discussant and training analyst on the development of psychoanalysis. Most of this
material consists of Hartmann’s introductions of papers given by fellow analysts and his
notes from ensuing discussions. The earliest notes record in shorthand a discussion
between Freud, Paul Federn, and others in 1928. The bulk of Hartmann’s notes dates from
1946 to 1960.
The [Dora Hartmann Papers](dorapap)
pertain to her work with the New York Psychoanalytic Institute. Material dated 1958-1962
relates in particular to budgetary issues and her duties as the institute’s treasurer.
Correspondence, committee files, minutes, reports, and patient files dated after 1963
focus on her work as a training analyst and faculty adviser at the institute.
