Extract

The purpose of this paper is to report on therapeutic measures which have been used on my Unit at the Maudsley Hospital for several years and have been gradually elaborated with the help of registrars who have learned to apply them under my general supervision. The measures are derived from the therapeutic technique Freud recommended. In 1913, when he reviewed the development of his technique, he said: “In the earliest days of analytic technique we took an intellectualist view of the situation. We set a high value on the patient's knowledge of what he had forgotten, and in this we made hardly any distinction between our knowledge of it and his…. We hastened to convey [it] to the patient in the certain expectation of thus bringing the neurosis and the treatment to a rapid end.
