Isidore Sadger

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Isidor Isaak Sadger (born October 29, 1867 in Neu-Sandez , Galicia , Austria-Hungary ; † December 21, 1942 in the Theresienstadt ghetto ) was a Jewish doctor and psychoanalyst in Vienna .

Life

Sadger had studied medicine in Vienna from 1885. He was one of the first medical colleagues to be interested in Sigmund Freud's new theory of psychoanalysis . In 1906 he was accepted into Freud's so-called Psychological Wednesday Society - the forerunner of the Vienna Psychoanalytical Association (WPV) founded in 1908 . He wrote psychoanalytical biographies about the writers Heinrich von Kleist , Nikolaus Lenau and Conrad Ferdinand Meyer and wrote literary and theater reviews for several Viennese newspapers. He was specifically concerned with narcissism , homosexuality and fetishism . The term sadomasochism was coined by him in 1913. With his doctrine of sexual aberrations (1921) he wanted to create a psychoanalytic basis for the still young sexology . From 1923 he was a training analyst at the Vienna Psychoanalytic Institute. In the late 1920s he wrote memoirs of his encounters with Freud, which, because they anticipated Freud's death (Freud died in 1939), were only to appear after his death. When his manuscript became known in 1930, it created a scandal, as a result of which he left the UPU.

After Austria was annexed to the German Reich in 1938, Sadger stayed in Vienna. He was deported to the Theresienstadt ghetto in September 1942 , where he died on December 21, 1942. His personal effects were destroyed and his official traces were wiped out by the Viennese bureaucracy in the course of the extermination of the Jews.
