Her method of treatment rested primarily on analyzing the relationship between the schizophrenic delirium and infantile traumatisms. The delirious idea is a morbid satisfaction and compensation for the legitimate needs and desires which have been frustrated in infancy. The symbolic realization of these fundamental emotional demands (by treating symbols as the "reality" of the patient) resulted in a remarkable therapeutic success. 17 of the patient's symbolic drawings are reproduced. Symbolic realization; a new method of psychotherapy applied to a case of schizophrenia..
