Ivory v. Red Brick. The gulf between the ivory-tower and red-brick schools of psychiatry over the new drugs has significance far beyond the profession. On its resolution depends the full and effective use of important new psychiatric tools.

Freud admitted that the usefulness of his method was virtually limited to the neuroses and could not yet reach the psyhoses.

Jung's influence in psychiatric practice, though often unacknowledged, has been conceded by the late A. A. Brill, leading U.S. Freudian, who called him "the pioneer psychoanalyst in psychiatry." Freud thought that analysis was useful only in the milder forms of emotional illness (neurosis).
