To discuss progress in the psychoneuroses without encroaching on the subjects of psychopathology and psychotherapy may appear like an attempt to play Hamlet without the Prince of Denmark. However, there remain certain aspects of aetiology, nosology, differential diagnosis and treatment which are not included in those subjects. It must clearly be understood that the ground covered by the following discussion is strictly limited owing to the above considerations. Thus, psycho-analytic work on the neuroses is to a great extent a matter of psychopathology and psychotherapy, and can therefore find little place in this chapter.
