Abstract
In peripheral hospitals and their crowded outpatient clinics many neurotics are treated, sometimes for a number of years, with sedatives or tranquillizers, a few words of sympathy and encouragement and, often electroplexy. The reasons often given for failure to offer psychotherapy are that it is of doubtful benefit or that it is too time-consuming.Keywords
