This little book attempts to state the principles of psychoanalysis in a brief 195 pages. The author has probably done as well as could be expected in such a small space, but the presentation suffers from undue condensation and brevity. From this point of view the book is inadequate. It is naturally thoroughly understandable by the analyst, but it would be rather too much probably for the lay reader to whom it apparently appeals. The last chapter on the educational applicability of psychoanalysis is particularly to be commended.
