1. MYERS, C S. On Consciousness.—This is a president's address to the Section of Psychiatry of the Royal Society of Medicine by a pure psychologist, as he terms himself, whose work in psychopathology was limited to the years of the late war. Here he deals with an effort to define the various modes of consciousness. An interesting paper but of no particular importance psychoanalytically. Schilder puts this same material into a psychological form applicable to neuropsychiatry.

2. MCDOUGALL, W. Freud's Group Psychology and His Theory of Suggestion.—A critical outline of Freud's work on Mass Psychology and the Ego. Inasmuch as McDougall's ideas themselves are discussed by Freud the essay is alive with controversy. He first gives a résumé of Freud's historical introduction and then offers a polemic supporting his hypothesis of suggestion, i.e., a form of “instinctive submission”, whatever this may mean. McDougall then attempts to analyze Freud's “complex” theory of suggestion. He has great trouble with the problem of identification. This is quite understandable since at this time McDougall had no actual psychoanalytic experience. To those dealing in psychoanalytic work the numerous identifications are at times intricate but not as complex as McDougall would make them. In fact McDougall misses entirely the point that Freud's conceptions are drawn from actual psychoanalytic material. His conclusions about “jealousy” are quite untrue.
