title: [Freud and Fliess at Achensee].
abstract: Freud has always emphasized the importance of self-analyzing one's own slips. When Freud met Fliess at lake Achensee he could not remember that Fliess had called his attention to the importance of bi-sexuality in 1897. In answer to it, Freud analyzed himself, and realised that he was going to deprive his best friend Fliess of his convictions. However, Freud was satisfied with the comment that he became more tolerant of other researchers. However, he did not get to the root of the problematic nature of his ambition. Thus, a new Freudian slip was to be expected. Freud had repressed the visit O. Weininger had paid to him with the early manuscript on ¿Sex and Character¿ in 1901. Only precise hints of Fliess helped Freud to overcome his amnesia and became aware of the facts repressed. But even now Freud did not get to the root of the problematic nature of his ambition. He was satisfied with forgetting all private informations of Fliess as soon as possible. In 1924 this resulted in a new Freudian slip (Wittels). Freud could have spared all these slips by digesting his experience at lake Achensee completely (all polemic pamphlets of the year 1906 would not have appeared at least).
