A discussion of "Dream Analysis in the Treatment of an Eleven-Year-Old Boy" by Harold M. Voth, M.D. An investigation of the role of memory in free association is presented. It is described that the mode of registration and recall (sensory images and/or words and/or abstractions) differs in the child of latency age from that in the adult. The child in the latency-age period undergoes a marked series of developmental changes in the elements used in memory organization. To the extent that these differences in the mode of manifestation of memory exist, there are differences between the free associations of the child and the free associations of the adult. Children do free associate. It is necessary to understand the principles which govern age-appropriate memory elements in the child before these free associations can be used therapeutically. The memory organizations, memory modes, and the theory of their ontogenesis is presented, followed by clinical examples of the application of this theoretical material in the psychotherapy of children.
医学博士哈罗德·M·沃思所著《对一名11岁男孩的梦的分析治疗》的讨论。本文呈现了对记忆在自由联想中的作用的一项调查。文中描述了潜伏期儿童的记忆登记和回忆模式（感觉图像和/或词语和/或抽象概念）与成人不同。处于潜伏期的儿童在用于记忆组织的元素方面经历了一系列显著的发育变化。就记忆表现模式存在这些差异而言，儿童的自由联想与成人的自由联想之间存在差异。儿童确实会进行自由联想。在这些自由联想能够用于治疗之前，有必要了解支配儿童适合其年龄的记忆元素的原则。文中介绍了记忆组织、记忆模式及其个体发生理论，随后给出了该理论材料在儿童心理治疗中的应用临床实例。
