A. A. Brill and Mabel Dodge Luhan: A Reading from their Correspondence
by Patricia Everett & Paul Lippmann
Tuesday, March 29, 2011, 5:00 pm
Psychoanalyst A. A. Brill maintained an active correspondence with his  
patient Mabel Dodge Luhan, a writer and New York salon hostess.  
Luhan’s  analysis began in June 1916 and continued until she moved to  
Taos, New Mexico, in December 1917, after which analyst and writer  
corresponded  for nearly thirty years. This reading from the Mabel  
Dodge Luhan Papers presents a selection of letters that reflect the  
highly personal, expressive, and exploratory nature of their  
correspondence. Luhan recounted her dreams and reported on her current  
mental states. Brill responded with advice, warmth, and forceful  
interpretations. These letters provide views into often inaccessible  
aspects of analytic relationships. Patricia Everett, Ph.D. is a  
psychologist in private practice in Amherst, Massachusetts. She is the  
author of A History Of Having A Great Many Times Not Continued To Be  
Friends: The Correspondence Between Mabel Dodge and Gertrude Stein,  
1911–1934 (University of New Mexico Press, 1996). A 2005 Beinecke  
Library A. Bartlett Giamatti Visiting Research Fellow, she recently  
completed a book manuscript entitled The Dreams of Mabel Dodge and is  
currently editing the correspondence between Mabel Dodge Luhan and A.  
A. Brill. Paul Lippmann, Ph.D. is a fellow, a member of the faculty,  
and a training and supervising analyst at the William Alanson White  
Institute. He is in private practice in Stockbridge, Massachusetts,  
and is director of the Stockbridge Dream Society. He is the author of  
Nocturnes: On Listening to Dreams (The Analytic Press, 2000).
