ABSTRACT

FROM well-informed circles, the fear has already been expressed that psychoanalysis, if it left the consultation-room of the physician, might be misused for all binds of mischief. In the hands of improper people, as social sport, tried by frivolous persons, applied by lustful companions for gratification of impure curiosity, it may cause all kinds of misfortune. It may bring moral danger to healthy people and great increase of suffering to the sick when incompetent persons, in mischievous presumption, devote themselves to the interesting method.
