Dr. Allendy is one of the group of the early French psychoanalytic society. With de Saussure, Laforgue, and others, he worked in Claude's clinic at St. Anne and brought conviction of the value and merit of the psychoanalytic conception into the seats of the mighty. With Hesnard, Laforgue, Pichon, Parchemnicz, Marie Bonaparte, and others, he has participated in the formation of an active, energetic, and productive group of psychoanalysts in France.
He wrote an earlier work on “dreams,” outlining the Freudian conceptions before Freud's work itself was translated into French (Payot), and he here has revised and enlarged it, and brought it more in line with present day conceptions of the psychoanalytic camp.
It is specially readable in that previous and present day work with the dream by French students has been incorporated, and further by reason of the fact that he has brought material from the psychology of primitive people more prominently into the study.
It is a work to be recommended to the neuropsychiatrist both for its content and for the manner of its presentation.
