ABSTRACT
Under the notion "environmental factor" I mean not merely the family or school atmosphere. The concepts about various problems as they exist within society in a broader sense, the general attitude of people towards each other and toward the various types of human groups, are the environmental factors to which I am here referring. How society apparently feels and manifestly acts toward the strong and the weak does not remain without influence on the subconscious processes of the individual. The attitude toward women in general, e.g. the real position of women and children in legal administration, not only implies a fact, " a custom of the world" to the youth in maturation, but may modify various mental processes and "complexes" in the deeper spheres that have no direct bearing on the events of the outside world. To put it briefly, the average health of subconscious spheres depends just as much on the events in the broader
society as on impressions by the close and intimate circle of the family.
