It thus comes about that the School of Social Work aids the poor, the School of Architecture redesigns the slum, the School of Business advises the small tradesman, the School of Dentistry runs a free clinic, the School of Law gives legal aid, and the undergraduate college supplies volunteers to hospitals, recreation centers, and remedial schools...

Even Freud's daughter Anna, 73, the founder and director of the Hampstead Child Therapy Clinic in London and one of his school's most progressive heirs, sadly acknowledges that psychoanalysis seems to be going out of style. "Young people now are not interested in man's struggle against himself, but in man's struggle against society," she said last year in Manhattan.
