1. Berg, Charles. A Case Showing Some Implications of Short Treatment.—War pressures for time made it necessary to perform short courses of psychotherapy. The patient was an educated middleaged man who out of keeping with his attainments had become for ten years increasingly in debt. This eventually led to some drinking bouts. He also gambled to solve his problems. These were connected with an experience in the first war, “an entanglement in the ‘guts’ of the enemy with whom he was wrestling for his life.” The patient felt he had to admit he was a coward, liar, and thief. The cure was based on having found a good-parent imago in the analyst. Short treatment is synonymous with incomplete treatment. The rationale of cures by narco-analysis is probably never that which its advocates suppose. Although the patient felt well he still was the victim of unanalyzed transference conflict together with the dangers inherent in such a condition.
