ABSTRACT
This chapter proposes uses for the grid closely associated with actual analytic experiences. The grid may, however, be profitably used in a kind of analytic make-believe in which the experiential element is far less dominant. The chapter suggests that the psycho-analytic object had three "dimensions", sensa, mythology and analytic theory. Translating this into terms of grid categories any analytic object before qualifying as such must display features categorized in rows B, C and G. To reiterate, a verbal statement observed to have aspects falling in rows B, C and G represents a psycho-analytic object. A verbally identical statement seen to fall in, say, D2 is a psycho-analytic element. The elements of psycho-analysis are ideas and feelings as represented by their setting in a single grid-category; psychoanalytic objects are associations and interpretations with extensions in the domain of sense, myth and passion, requiring three grid categories for their representation.
