  • Herbert Silberer (February 28, 1882 – January 12, 1923) was a Viennese psychoanalyst involved with the professional circle surrounding Sigmund Freud which included other pioneers of psychological study as Carl Jung, Alfred Adler and others. He had a background in athletics and sports journalism. He was very interested in dreams, and in 1909 published a paper detailing his research into the hypnagogic state (the mental state in which the individual is between waking and sleeping). Silberer's contention was that the hypnagogic state is autosymbolic, meaning that the images and symbols perceived in the hypnagogic state are representative (i.e. symbolic) of the physical or mental state of the perceiver. He concluded that two "antagonistic elements" were required for autosymbolic phenomena to manifest: drowsiness and an effort to think. In 1914, Silberer wrote a book on the relationship between modern psychology, mysticism and esoteric traditions: Probleme der Mystik und ihrer Symbolik (Problems of Mysticism and its Symbolism). Many of the insights Silberer offered, especially into the link between alchemical imagery and modern psychology were similar to those developed more extensively by Carl Jung, a fact acknowledged by Jung in his seminal work on the subject, Psychology and Alchemy. Silberer's book was coldly rejected by Freud. Silberer became despondent and later committed suicide by hanging himself after being excommunicated from Freud's circle of associates.

  • Herbert Silberer était un psychanalyste autodidacte né à viennois. Il s'est d'abord intéressé à la psychanalyse sur un plan personnel puis il s'est fait connaître à Sigmund Freud pour un texte qui a été publié dans le Jahrbuch en 1909. Il est devenu membre de la Société psychanalytique de Vienne en 1910 et s'est fait connaître par son travail sur le symbolisme. Depuis et de plus en plus, ses intérêts se sont tournés vers la mystique et l'ésotérisme. Pour l'historien Paul Roazen son suicide serait lié au rejet que Freud manifestait à l'égard de ses idées mais ceci est contesté par d'autres auteurs tels B. Nitzschke qui affirme et démontrerait que Roazen s'est trompé dans ses sources.
