Extract

We have at present no reliable method for indicating the correct sequence of treatment in neurotic cases showing a manifold symptomatology. In such cases much time may be lost through attacking superficial rather than basic conflicts. It would therefore be an undoubted advantage to possess a means of indicating objectively and by experiment which problems are fundamental, and to the resolution of which treatment should be first directed.
