Abstract: By discovering the unconscious and thus providing an insight into the until then unknown motives of our dreams and acts, psychoanalysis has had a key role in revealing the mysterious.Secrets, however, are not only lurking in our dreams, but are necessarily present in the history of psychoanalysis as well.With the publishing of the correspondence between the prominent figures of early psychoanalysis, many of those secrets were uncovered.Other secrets turned into mysteries after the death of their guardian(s).In my paper, I will discuss the following cases: 1) the diagnosis as a secret (A.J. Storfer, Otto Gross) 2) a secret meeting organized by Stekel in the absence of Freud 3) some mysteries (the example of A. J. Storfer), 4) Eitingon's strange deliveries 5) private secrets (the alleged relationship between Freud and Minna Bernays, the motives of the suicide of Victor Tausk).
