Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to present Sándor Ferenczi’s Clinical Diary written in 1932. Thanks to a close reading of his journal and Ferenczi’s other life-writing materials, especially correspondence with Sigmund Freud and Georg Groddeck, the authoress examines a concept of “mutual analysis” (“mutuelle Analyse”), which affected and changed a psychoanalytic theory and practice before the outbreak of the Second World War. In this article, the context of the emergence and development of psychoanalysis in Hungary has been evoked, in order to bring closer the figure of Freud’s most brilliant disciple, still little known in Poland. The author analyses Ferenczi’s relations with Freud in attempt to re-enact the development of his own theory – a pathway that brought him to the deconstruction of Freud’s psychoanalysis.
