Abstract
“THIS little book on a big subject”(preface) aims at giving, more particularly for nurses and women teachers, an elementary introduction to the theories of Freud, Adler, and Jung in a form more acceptable than that of “the early exponents of analytic psychology … [who] succeeded for the most part in arousing disgust and revulsion” (p. 173). It would seem to be an attempt to neutralise certain ill-effects of ‘psychoanalysis’ in its role of ‘rather dangerous plaything of society” (p. 14).
