A lot of this is still interesting and relevant, if you are able to forego the psychoanalytic interpretations of psychosis, sexual preference etc. I found the essay included in the appendix of this edition (Classical Adlerian Theory and Practice by Henry T. Stein and Martha E. Edwards, 1998) particularly illuminating.

She was extended full length at her end of the divan, completely motionless, and with her chin raised a little, as if she were balancing something on it which was quite likely to fall.
Characters are sketched so well and so succinctly. It reminds me of those line drawings by Picasso or Matisse, where the whole picture is clear to you, before you realize that they are just a few lines, perfectly placed.

It is remarkable to read these stories and essays in the era of LMMs. Pretty impressive clairvoyance! Perhaps, after all, it *will* be possible to do in my lifetime what Montaigne did: "long weary of the servitude of the court and of public employments, while still entire, retired to the bosom of the learned virgins, where in calm and freedom from all cares he will spend what little remains of his life, now more than half run out. If the fates permit, he will complete this abode, this sweet ancestral retreat; and he has consecrated it to his freedom, tranquillity, and leisure.”
