Dr. Healy presents the difficulties encountered in securing for analysis individuals who are under 'legal commitment'. He relates in detail a case which demonstrates the difficulties encountered in carrying on an analysis even when the circumstances seem ideal. He concludes that special provisions must be devised for hospitalization of this special type of criminal undergoing psycho-analytic treatment. In addition the patient should have an indeterminate sentence and parole period. With this must go the opportunity for complete control of the offender's life so that upon the successful completion of his analysis he shall be allowed his freedom with the opportunity of securing employment. Without this type of social re-education he must gravitate back into the anti-social group and thus nullify every chance for a successful adjustment.
