In 1958, the American director John Huston asked Sartre to write a screenplay about Freud, and more precisely about the conflicted period of discovery when Freud, abandoning hypnosis, invented psychoanalysis. The following year, he submitted a voluminous script to Huston, who asked him to rework it and make cuts. In the end, Sartre gave up and demanded that his name not appear in the credits of the film Freud, the Secret Passion, made in 1961. 'Le scénario Freud' was published in 1984 by Gallimard Connaissance De L'inconscient (Preface by Jean-Bertrand Pontalis).
