Psychology of a
Pipe That Goes Out

Then there are symbolic acts you see
done about you and by you constantly,
and you learn through psyche
to see their meanings. You find you
have mislaid your pipe or that your
cigar has been constantly going out.
You discover that these accidents mean
you have been smoking too much You
are invited to formal affair, and you
realize you have neglected to launder
your shirt or mislald your cuff but
tons. You analyze yourself, and find
out there is q reason for this. Yet you
did not do these things purposely. You
really don't want to go, and your un-
conscious inner feelings find express
sion in these outward acts. Forget
ting is a sort Of protection, for it is
associated with the painful.
But psycho-analysis is applicable to
art, literature, morals, education, Grim
inology and other subjects of value

matter of such Importance that
John D. Rochefeler's daughter,
Mrs. Mccormick, is giving one mill
ron dollars for an institution to further
research and experiment in this COM
paratively new science. Several uni
versities, Columbia among them, have
given courses in this subject, while
Clark University, of which DR.. Stanley
Hall is president, has been active in
spreading interest in psycho-analy sis.
A number of hospitals and insane asy-
lums are applying the methods of Freud

neurosis.
But the value of this science consists
not only in helping the sick and abb

ity--it has vital effect on everyday
life, on our ordinary conduct, on the
relations between ourselves and our
neighbors. 1t aids you in understand

he may call again, but his act shows that
inwardly he desires to come back, and

Freud. He even published an ANALYSIS

"What is psycho-analysis? | asked
Dr.. Brill.
Psycho-analysis, the creation Of Pro
fessor Freud, is a method of mental in
vestigation for the purpose of eXplor-
ing the unconscious mental forces OF
both normal and abnormal persons. 1t
seeks to discover the unconscious mo-
tivcs at the bases of many nervous dis
eases; for instance, through various
means, such as inqu.ring into the pa
TENTS dreams. You see, the dream
tells us much about our past, for 1t is
the oifshoot Of the past, and represents,
as Freud told US, an unconscious wish
| realized. The psych ho-analyst assures us
that there is q definite reason for all
abnormal manifestations. No symptom
is accidental or meaningless; there are
always unconscious, underlying causes,
which, If found and brought to the sur
face, cause the symptoms to disappear.
dreams. We have cured many people.
We find that repressed early love feel
ings are responsible for much ncurosis.
80 past is important and not the pres
ent, as Jung tries to tell us. For in
stance, a man loses all his money and
has n breakdown. People say he had

fortune

other people do not have a rcakdown

prepared for his breakdown long be-
fore in his past. Frcud's method does
away with hypnotism, which was used
TO make patients revive unpleasant
memories as a sort of cathartc way Of
getting rid of those which were re-
pressed and needed an outlet. He uses
the continuous association method.
The patient is told to concentrate his
attention on a certain fact, tell every
thing that comes to his mind, whether
relevant or not. This always brings up
cause they were of a painful and dis
agreeable nature. The patient natu-
rally made resistance to revealing much
and Freud soon developed his sex theo-
rtes which gave so much offence. Re
member, Freud uses sex in the broad
sense of love. He did not invent his
theories; they were forced on him by
experience. and many students, at first
opposed to these theories, were bound
TO corroboratc them because of their
experiences with patients. The SYM
bolic sex interpretations of many
dreams has been proved by analogies
to symbolic references in daily life.
Freud told us also that child has a
love life Of its own, its first one being
for its parent of the opposite sex. This
il called the Gdipus complex. Then
he also concluded that in a normal sex
