Abstract

The author finds in these three cases the same motives as those reported by psycho-analysts during the last ten years, namely, the renunciation of manhood, the need for punishment, and revenge upon a parent. He also discusses Stengel's view that the examination has the unconscious significance of an initiation rite.
