Like the above, an account of the way in which a psycho-analytically orientated teacher, careful not to risk the disturbance on class-work of an analytical relationship, was able to make use of analytical knowledge to help an acutely disturbed child—in this case, one who became terrified of death and dared not go to sleep. The author points out the favourable circumstances—a good measure of mental stability, readiness to come to her for help, a helpful mother—which gave her special opportunities for intervention.
