Young Doctor Parris Mitchell (the hero of Kings Row), a home-town boy but a Vienna-trained psychiatrist, has become a paragon of goodness. As a disciple of Freud, he naturally has a hard time convincing his fellow citizens that he is more than a doubletalking quack. In time he not only shames his narrow-minded enemies but gives them, free, some sobering doses of analysis as well. At times coming very close to being a boring do-gooder, he rids a local rich man of his compulsion to bay like a hound, comforts the intimidated German townspeople when World...

...Cures" & Quacks. Did Freud give up hypnotism too soon? Authors Wolfe and Rosenthal, sure that he did, report hypnotic effects that make Svengali* look like a tyro. They claim that hypnotism has cured numerous cases of psychoneurosis, made childbirth painless and alcoholics sober. They reassure prospective patients by saying that no one can be forced to act against his moral principles while in a trance (e.g., a girl cannot be hypnotically seduced if she does not want to be; if she does, the authors add gravely, "hypnosis is an unnecessarily involved and roundabout route...
