The New York Psycho-Analytical Society

January 23, 1923. An interesting Psycho-Analytical Hour. By Dr. Adolph Stern. The report is an account of a session which took place shortly before the discontinuing of the treatment owing to external circumstances, at a time when

the analysis was still not complete. The material reported was in part stimulated by knowledge on the part of the patient that the treatment was to stop for causes not of his own making. An extensive and valuable part of his neurosis was lived through during the hour; also important phenomena of the negative phase of the transference were lived through at the beginning of the hour without much realization on the part of the patient of their infantile origin. In fact these negative phenomena, in the form of resistance to the homo-erotic component, made their appearance the first thing in the hour's session, and the patient lived them through as if they were events of the present; much was done in this hour to trace these homo-erotic components to their infantile origin, with more emotional insight than had been accomplished before. No new material came up in the course of the hour; the old became more clearly defined than before in its proper relationship between the past and the present.

The revision was with the object of making the requirements for active membership conform with those in
