A sixty-year-old man complained of severe anxiety coincident with the arrival at his job of a new superior, who was younger than the patient. This was interpreted as aggression toward a younger brother, with return of the repressed via transference to the young boss. Although the patient denied any memory of hostility toward his brother, he nevertheless brought in a college theme written forty years earlier, discovered by a suggestion in a dream which he had following the interpretation. The college theme, a jocular one, referred to the trials and tribulations of having a younger brother, and clearly confirmed the interpretation of sibling hostility.
