Analysis without Payment. Dr. Cénac suggested that a scheme should be drawn up by means of which psycho-analytic treatment should be made available for patients unable to pay fees. He thought it advisable that suitable patients should be referred to a single body which would deal with them at the Institute of Psycho-Analysis. The main object of such an organization would be that the allocation of patients to various analysts should be in the hands of a central body which would try to consult the wishes of the physicians willing to treat such cases, in respect of the type of patient to be allotted to each.
It was unanimously decided that Dr. Cénac and Dr. Leuba should be requested to organize this scheme.
It was further unanimously agreed that all those present at the metting should subscribe to the following principle: Every psycho-analyst authorized to practise by the French Psycho-Analytical Society shall undertake to devote one hour a day to analysing a patient free of charge.
