The third volume in the series Freud on Holiday describes a number of holiday choices; the problem of deciding where to go and when; plus the matters of cost, convenience, appropriate companionship and correct context. There are descriptions of train itineraries, hotel rooms and restaurant menus, even though the name of one restaurant resists recall for most of the book. There is a surprising connection with hysteria and another name is forgotten en route, accompanied by an embarrassing error in chronology. At last, forgotten names are remembered, although an image that has been talked away is not seen again.
