Provenance:

The manuscript was given by Freud to his noted Hungarian disciple, Sandor Ferenczi. After Ferenczi's death in 1933, the manuscript remained with his family until 1945 when they presented it to Ferenczi's literary executor, the Hungarian-born British psychoanalyst, Michael Balint. Upon Balint's death in 1970 the manuscript passed to his son, John Balint, M.D., who presented it to Columbia University in 1998.
