According to Peter Gay, "Budapest produced some of the most conspicuous talents in the analytic profession: in addition to Ferenczi, these included Franz Alexander [and Sándor] Radó.
"[5] Regime change then led to his move to Berlin, where, after Abraham's death, Ernest Jones suggested Radó (among others) for "replacing him on the [Secret] Committee".
"[12] Radó also wrote seminal papers on the question of addiction: "His concept of 'alimentary orgasm', which replaced genital supremacy in pharmocothymia, has been widely quoted.
[16] In them he "criticizes the exclusive preoccupation of the therapist with the patient's past and the neglect of his present",[17] among other matters: "on all these points Rado was way ahead of his time.
"[18] However, in those late writings, "one of his colleagues fe[lt] that Rado has introduced unnecessary neologisms for [...] traditionally sanctioned terms, for example, 'hedonic self-regulation' for 'pleasure principle',"[19] thereby further contributing to his professional isolation.
