Although psychoanalysis is to modern 'psychosomatic medicine' but one of many research methods which must coöperate with others in order to achieve good results, the general concepts of psychosomatic medicine are based entirely on psychoanalytic theory. It is regrettable that certain authors, when writing on 'psychosomatic' problems, do not know enough about this theory and about the way in which it underlies the more general psychosomatic problems. Grotjahn's 'bibliography' on the Psychoanalytic Contributions to Psychosomatic medicine is therefore especially useful. This short bibliography is not limited to an enumeration of the books and papers in question but adds excellent and condensed general reviews of each of them, which suffices to inform the reader of their general nature and to help him decide which of them he ought to read in the original.
