ABSTRACT

M any books have been written setting out the theoryand practice of psychology, but few give ~ullaccounts of case hisiories. This is partly because the subject-matter is often too intimate to publish, and in any case is apt to be very lengthy, and partly also because of the difficulty experienced by the analyst in giving what is equally essential to a critical understanding of the analytical process, namely, an accurate account of his own role in the human drama.·

So far as I know this is the first document relating to the practice of Analytical Psychology (which is the branch of psychological practice founded by Jung) in which any serious attempt has been made to record in any detail the analyst's own part in the process as well as the patient's.
