Sándor Ferenczi was Freud's colleague and friend, and later his chosen successor. He was the first professor in psychoanalysis. Their relationship ended up in a fatal quadrangle. Ferenczi fell in love with Elma, the daughter of his partner Gizella who was eight years his senior. He couldn't choose between the two women, and finally turned to Freud for advice. The drama of this Ferenczi-Freud-Gisella-Elma quadrangle highlights the birth of psychoanalysis, its importance as well as defects in its infancy.
