A detailed study of five severe cases of manic-depressive insanity. The therapeutic results were neither encouraging nor discouraging. In no case did the analysis proceed to the depths. The author proffers much material concerning unconscious mechanisms and conflicts, but her conclusions are of a very general order. Nothing distinctive of this psychosis is isolated. Apparently at the time of writing the author had not seen Freud's work on melancholia.
