Abstract
THIS book consists of letters written by Dr. G. Groddeck to a friend. They are all on a psychoanalytic basis and consist of advice on a variety of matters relating to sex, family life, etc. To those readers who are acquainted with the psychology of sex and its many and varied manifestations in everyday life, this book will present little if anything that is new, but the book is very readable and states the facts of symbolism, etc., in a clear and interesting manner. Those who are not wholehearted Freudians will find much of the book disagreeable and unacceptable.
