Abstract

The article deals with the most important of the psychoanalytic societies, which have existed in Denmark from around 1930 and up to the present time. There have been two main directions in Danish psychoanalysis, a direction having emerged more or less spontaneously inside the cultural left movement and which later on had its second prime in connection with the student revolt, and a direction implanted from the outside as a direct derivative from The International Psychoanalytical Association. The first direction has had its force in its social engagement and in the application of psychoanalysis to a long series of fields, but it has had difficulties in establishing a proper therapeutic
practice. The second direction has tried to observe the instructions from the international association, but in return has had difficulties in adapting to the specific Danish cultural basis. Therefore its impact has been small until the latest decades.
