The book compiles all known works of psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Miklós Sugár (1897–1945), one of the first three psychoanalysts in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia and the only psychoanalysis educator before World War II. As a follower of Freud’s psychoanalysis and a member of the Vienna and Budapest Psychoanalytic Associations, he practiced medicine in the mid-1920s. In 1938, he co-founded the Belgrade Psychoanalytic Society with Nikola M. Popović, Hugo Klein, Stjepan Betlheim, and others. He died in the Theresienstadt concentration camp in May 1945.

From 1925 to 1941, Sugár published studies on systematic issues of theory and practice in major psychoanalytic journals, as well as critical reviews of psychoanalytic publications in German. He also wrote popular newspaper articles, professional lectures on psychoanalysis, and political articles on applied psychoanalysis in Hungarian and Serbian. After World War II, until the publication of Petar Klein’s book “The Development of Psychoanalysis in Serbia” in 1989, Sugár’s theoretical and practical work remained unknown even in professional circles of psychiatrists, psychoanalysts, and psychologists.

The book includes translations of all known works by Sugár, all available bibliographic sources, and contributions to his recent reception.
