Summary

Introduction

From 1919 to his death, Sigmund Freud was treated for a maxillary jawbone cancer by two exceptional surgeons, the Austrian, Hans Pichler, and the American, Varaztad Kazanjian. In 1919, Sigmund Freud was first seen by Hans Pichler (1877-1949), an Austrian stomatologist who was considered to be one of the best maxillofacial surgeons in Europe. Without Freud’s knowledge, he called upon Professor Varaztad Kazanjian (1879-1974), an eminent Armenian American dentist and the 20th century forerunner of maxillofacial surgery, to come to Vienna in order to design the philosopher’s new prostheses. Max Schur (1897-1969), an Austrian doctor who practiced psychoanalysis and who trained in Vienna, was close friends with his famous patient.
