Extract

The purpose of this paper is to draw attention to results achieved in selected neurotic cases treated by short-term abreactive techniques in St. Clement's Hospital during recent months. Patients usually stay in for about two months; as yet it is too early to assess long-term results of this form of treatment, but it is felt that some of the initial results are extremely encouraging.
