ABSTRACT
The relation of psychoanalysis to ethics and the effect of psychoanalytic conceptions and the theories of repression and the unconscious can be easily seen in some recent philosophical publications. Psychoanalysis can do much too, in formulating on the basis of its principles, rational rules for nervous and mental hygiene, rather than the usual loose conceptions of will power. It is beginning to found a new ethics as well as a new psychology, a new neurology and a new school of literary criticism. Physicians are beginning to recognize the efficacy of psychoanalysis and while only a few have mastered the technique, yet increasing numbers of cases are referred to those who have specialized in the subject in order that the nervous sufferer may be given the benefit of a really fundamental type of treatment.
