The housecleaning procedures I mentioned should definitely be carried out. The work done in the kitchen last weekend helped him, for the reasons given. Through motor activities he rids himself of identification in a vigorous and aggressive matter, the symbolism worked out in physical terms. Since the symptoms have been physical, this is excellent therapy and most practical from a psychic viewpoint.

When Ruburt’s mother went to the hospital in his high-school years, he had a symbolic way of ridding the house of her psychic presence, and to add to his own sense of inner freedom. He threw open the windows, something usually denied him. This also has a therapeutic symbolism for him in connection with his grandfather, that is the feeling that cleansing nature rids the air of impurities. He also liked to have the radio blaring as a gesture of defiance and freedom, and within limitations, this would be an aid when the windows are opened. There are other reasons for the housecleaning suggestions also, involving individualistic symbols that have strong value for him.

Gentle orders are fine. Attempts to bully can bring aggravations. Concentration on his writing in the morning helps rid him of symptoms, and so does concentration at nursery school, for his attention is otherwise centered. We want to develop these same qualities at other times also.
