Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Sándor Radó (8 January 1890 Kisvárda - 14 May 1972 New York City) was a distinguished Hungarian psychoanalyst of the second generation, who moved to United States of America in the thirties. According to Peter Gay, "Budapest produced some of the most conspicuous talents in the analytic profession: in addition to Ferenczi, these included Franz Alexander, [&] Sándor Radó." Having qualified as a doctor, Sándor Radó met Sigmund Freud in 1915 and decided to become a psychoanalyst. He was analysed first by a former analysand of Freud, E. Revesz, and then, after his move to Berlin, by Karl Abraham. Among his own distinguished analysands were Wilhelm Reich and "Heinz Hartmann, the most prominent among the ego psychologists."
