Huber, author of the first book on the history of psychoanalysis in Austria, is presented through his biography and in relation to the ambience of Salzburg, where he lived and worked. As a theologian and priest, he increasingly resented the limitations of the church and he studied psychology, finally finding his way to psychoanalysis. The history of psychoanalysis became his special field of research. On friendly terms with colleagues in Europe and America, he became a central figure and patron of the younger generation of historians of psychoanalysis.
