Bornstein describes the successful analysis of a three-year-old boy. The analysis was conducted in the child's home and partly in the presence of the mother. From the illustrations given it appears that the material interpreted is almost exclusively verbal, that symbolic interpretations and interpretations of the transference situation and resistance are avoided and real experiences very much emphasized. Much 'reassurance' is given and the help and influence of the mother are used freely. Interest in certain subjects is at times 'provoked' in the analysis and sexual questions are explained even if they have not been raised.
