In this address tribute is paid to the work of Freud, which opens, the speaker says, a new era in psychology. Psycho-analysis, he says, is essentially a method of scientific clinical investigation; it is as necessary for the study of psychiatry as accurate and patient history-taking is necessary for the elucidation of medical problems of organic origin.
