ABSTRACT
My aim is to follow up the main trend in Freud’s general thesis, that for the aetiology of psycho-neurosis we must look to the Oedipus complex, and therefore to the interpersonal relationships as between three persons belonging to the child’s toddler age. I do thoroughly believe in this theory. I have worked on the basis of this theory for forty years, and I believe, as most psychoanalysts do, that the training in the psycho-analytic technique should be done in respect of cases that can be treated by classical technique, that is, a technique devised for precisely this: the analysis of the psycho-neurotic.
