with it. By the eighteenth month the growth ofintelligence and language gives the child an instrumentfor controlling the external world, and this becomesin a way an escape from instinctual pressure. Hisverbal behaviour therefore enables it to disguise itsinstinctual needs by verbal manipulations, frequentlyprojecting upon the external world a verbal expres-sion of its anxieties. The next year or so is concernedwith attempts to understand not only the externalworld in general but the parents in particular. Thedouble feelings it has about parents are intermittentlysolved by giving all love to one and showing hostilityto the other. This mood oscillates and may bedisquieting to parents, but if the parents can meetthe situation with equanimity the child gradually

. gets assured that its hostility is an internal thing andnot " just to " external facts. In fact, the child istrying to project its inner hostility of the outerworld for purposes of release, and it should be givenevery opportunity through play to obtain this releaseand by contact with persons other than parents todiffuse love and hostility over a wider field.

WOMEN DISTRESSED IN MIND

THE council of the Society of the Crown of ourLord, commemorating and carrying on the work ofits foundress, Miss Bertha James, who died last year,wishes to provide for educated women whose mentalhealth is temporarily impaired the advantages ofskilled medical treatment together with nursing andspiritual help. To this end an appeal has been issuedto which Lord Dawson of Penn and Sir FrancisFremantle among others have put their names. Asum of £3000 is being sought for the purchase andequipment of a house which would in effect becomean inexpensive nursing - home with a religiousatmosphere. The Society proposes to allot thelargest rooms at four to five guineas a week, theremainder at much less. It is certain that there aremany patients who would benefit greatly from astay in such a home, especially if care be taken,.as nodoubt it will, to select them judiciously on psychiatricas well as other grounds. We gladly endorse theappeal.
