These letters are extremely usefull if we wish to understand the adolescent roots of psychoanalysis. We may find there the first written fantasy of Freud on the murder of women instead of the murder of the father, which then appear as a rationalisation against these more archaic fantasies. We also may find here the first formulation of an international organisation, the Academia de los Perros, created by Freud and Silberstein based on a novel by Cervantès. The International Psychoanalytical Association will later spring from there.
