The material in this book is made up of the lectures given by the author in the Department of Pedagogics of the New York University, and for the most part has already found its way into periodical medical literature. The chapters taken consecutively give a very clear presentation of the principles of psychoanalysis. They are naturally of somewhat unequal merit. The chapter on the common forms of insanity is altogether too sketchy to be of much use, whereas the chapter on selection of vocations is very suggestive indeed. The most elaborately treated subject is the dream, to which four chapters, comprising over one hundred pages, are devoted. The book is usefully annotated in the margins for ready reference.
