Special problems of women in psychotherapy.
Feminist critics have failed to acknowledge the usefulness of Freud's neutral observations about female sexual development.

Several detailed case examples are utilized to illustrate the interpretive treatment of excessive passivity in women patients with a variety of neurotic difficulties.
