...What I really am," Dr. Blaine contends, "is a Neo-Freudian." This means that he belongs to a group of personality theorists who accept many of Freud's insights, but reject his pan-sexualism, and place emphasis on the conscious mind and cultural determinants. The Neo-Freudians (Fromm, Herney, Erikson, among others) also believe that a psychiatrist should practice "directive therapy"--the therapist should offer concrete advice to his patient, not remain a passive listener. Blaine uses his theory in "short-term psychotherapy," the usual treatment offered by the Health Services. In the program, the student usually comes in once...

What is surprising about French Neo-Realist Marc Saporta's do-it-yourself novel-which by all logic should have been a boring nonbook-is that it turns out to be a provocative piece of literary gimcrackery. This is in large part due to Saporta's skill at clicking off brisk, precise, sensuous sentences with the cool ease of a man spinning coins on a marble table. But it owes much to his use of the literary come-on. On one page, for example, Dagmar is seen standing next to a Christmas tree. "Through the tree...
