ABSTRACT
Here was a case of a woman of 30, who was referred to me for individual-psychological treatment by a doctor, with the diagnosis: "Fits of depression resulting from a continual conflict." She had come from abroad; for some two months her personal affairs would keep her in the city, and she wanted, when they were settled, to go abroad again. She was to profit in the interval by undergoing treatment, although it was clear to us—to the doctor and myself—that in so short a time her treatment could hardly be completed; still, it might be possible to lay down a basis from which further progress could be made.
