			== Interaction with Freud ==

			During 1933, in Vienna, Dr. van der Leeuw was a regular visitor of Sigmund Freud, who regarded him as his student.<ref>Ariela Freedman, ''Death, Men, and Modernism'' (New York and London: Routledge, 2003), 106.</ref> He was looking to apply psychological principles to general education.<ref>Alice Gambrell, ''Women Intellectuals, Modernism, and Difference'' (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1997), 164.</ref> Hilda Doolittle (H.D.), when learning about Dr. van der Leeuw's accidental death, told Freud:

			<blockquote>I felt all the time that he was the person who would apply, carry on the torch--carry on your ideas, but not in a stereotyped way. I felt that you and your work and the future of your work were especially bequeathed to him. Oh, I know there is the great body of the Psycho-Analytical Association, research workers, doctors, trained analysts, and so on! But Dr. van der Leeuw was different. I know that you have felt this very deeply. I came back to Vienna to tell you how sorry I am.<ref>Hilda Doolittle, ''Tribute to Freud'' Volume 4 (New York: New Directions Publishing Corporation, 1984), 6.</ref></blockquote>

			Freud regarded Dr. van der Leeuw as an "eminent scholar."<ref>Susan Standford Friedman (editor). ''Analyzing Freud: Letters of H.D., Bryher, and Their Circle'' (London: Paterson Marsh Agency, 2002), 400.</ref>
