This paper concerns itself with the technique of child analysis and the theory of such technique. It raises questions about the validity of many by-now traditional procedures, such as the use of candy, birthday presents, consultations with parents, wooing the child, etc. These procedures constitute deviations from a more classical technique such as exists in adult analysis.

A basic model technique is needed so that one can institute deviations when they are deemed essential and so that their course through the analysis can be followed and ultimately be analyzed. It is necessary in the course of a successful analysis that these deviations, these parameters, be analyzed.
