Different view-points in psychoanalysis--_Vide_ Freud's causality and Adler's finality--Discussion of meaning of transference--The meaning of "line of least resistance"--Man as a herd-animal--Rich endowment with social sense--Should take pleasure in life--Error as necessary to progress as truth--Patient must be trained in independence--Analyst is caught in his own net if he makes hard-and-fast rules--Through the analyst's suggestion only the outer form, never the content, is determined--The patient may mislead the doctor, but this is disadvantageous and delays him.
