From the author's paper it would seem that the 'Mind of Murder' is very complex; in fact, well-nigh unintelligible. The report is based on a case history of a girl 'with a slowly advancing state of self-destruction (suicide)'. In discussing the 'Homicide Theme' the author states, 'The normal individual is in love with Love as much as he hates Hate—not so the neurotic and psychopath. Murder represents the love of hate for its own sake… It is an impulse and unconsciously premeditated deed committed to spite the superego.' There is great emphasis placed on the patient's dreams which are studied from the 'cosmic levels' as well as 'realistic levels'. Only the manifest content of the dreams is considered. There is an appendix which contains charts and graphs of themes significant to the patient, oscillations of libido, trends of fantasy and content of dreams. In one graph one finds the expression 'sadismal masochism'.
