ABSTRACT
In these last chapters I have tried to describe both the development of Susan’s use of water1 as a symbol in her drawings and also how I came to look at this and use it in my own thinking when I studied the drawings in sequence. What surprised me was to find that I do not seem to have tried to interpret it at all during these months; it was not that I had seen its relevance but waited before talking to her about it, it was that I had apparently simply not thought about it. When I did begin to become aware of this fact I had to undergo quite a long process of self-searching before I could feel fairly certain that I had found out something of the reason for such an omission.
