ResumoTo the Editor: —Dr. Schilder, in writing on "The Somatic Basis of the Neurosis" ( J. Nerv. & Ment. Dis. 70 :502 [Nov.] 1929), has discussed a portion of my work on conditioned reflexes in which I have produced what I have called neuroses. The author admits that "we can find all the phenomena of the neuroses." Such a statement from a competent source I, of course, greatly appreciate. But I must strenuously object to the statements of the author relating to the comparative studies of neuroses in man and in animals. The author says: "These important experiments of Pavlov and his school can be understood only if we look upon them in the light of our experiences in the neuroses. We cannot interpret the neurosis by means of the conditioned reflex, but by means of the psychic mechanisms we have studied in the neurosis we can certainly very well interpret
