April 1, 1925. Miss E. Sharpe: A case of a fixed delusion. The paper dealt with the technique in handling difficult resistances. The lessening of the severe pressure of the ego-ideal was shown as the accompaniment of the possibility of the communication of the conscious material. This was followed by partial co-operation of the patient in giving free associations. The content of the interpretative work accomplished from this stage of the analysis was then summarized, with the conclusion that the infantile experience or phantasy underlying the fixed delusion may eventually be recovered.
