The author gives a clear and interesting account of a case of migraine, stressing the traumatic factors in the patient's history and illustrating the analysis with a number of significant dreams. Most of the attacks subsided following orgasm although the patient was frigid with husband and lovers. The rôle played in her migraine attacks by the electra-complex, the need for self-punishment and homosexuality is discussed as are also the various factors underlying her frigidity. Her conscious aversion to her husband and her neurotic choice of lovers made a satisfactory heterosexual adjustment impossible but the migraine attacks decreased in frequency and other neurotic symptoms disappeared after ninety hours of analysis.
