A worthless article by a writer whose conception of an analysis would be pretty well fulfilled by an ordinary clinical history narrated with a little more detail than usual and occasionally ornamented with psychoanalytic terms, and whose knowledge of transferences passes little beyond the notion that it may be manifested in a liking or disliking of the physician. The author appears to have no realization at all of what the unconscious is, of the real nature of transference, or of the plain analytic implications of the clinical material she presents. The following sentence is quoted as a good index of the quality of the article:

The negative transference is likely to make its appearance if the patients lose confidence in the analyst, and when this occurs, they find no relief from their symptoms, and a normal adjustment is replaced by a regressive process.
