The author strongly advocates the setting up of Psycho-Analytical Clinics in America, and gives an account of the Berlin Psycho-Analytical Polyclinic. In conclusion he submits:
1That psycho-analytical clinics and institutes are a necessary part of our armamentarium for the therapeutic alleviation of the large mass of neurotics who cannot afford to pay for psycho-analysis as now practised.
2That such clinics are necessary for maintaining a consistent school in
the training of psychiatrists and psycho-analysts, and thus obviate the present tendency to quackery in this speciality, the detailment of which is the active agitation of the daily press and which is largely due to our neuropsychiatric neglect.
3That these clinics should be independent in organization but allied to our medical schools and hospitals.
4That full-time service of the resident staff should be expected with a controlling or advisory board of analysts to support and give direction to the therapeutic and didactic work of the clinic or institute.
