Upon his return to Spain in 1932, Dr. Lopez Ibor began an illustrious academic career. He was 26 years old when he joined the faculty at the University of Santiago de Compostela Medical School. He would later join the faculty at the University of Salamanca Medical School and then the faculty at the University of Madrid Medical School, from which he retired. During his academic career Dr. Lopez Ibor was most prolific and creative; he contributed more than 300 scientific publications and 25 books to the medical literature (2). In his first book, entitled Lo Vivo y lo Muerto del Psicoanalisis, published in 1936, he openly criticized Freud’s work and conceptualized anxiety as being primarily a product of a biological process. According to Dr. Lopez Ibor, anxiety can authentically be understood to be the result of a physiological or organic disorder (2).
