ABSTRACT
Erickson: Yes, I'm still wearing my best suit. I Subject examines clothing of people in room.1 Never mind that. I arranged the whole thing.
Subject: I won't worry about it. Rossi: You have often insisted that patients retain their personalities in trance, and the subject's sardonic humor in this section is an illustration of your point. Dr. Fink tries to respond with a pun about a skeleton in the closet in hopes of getting some psychodynamic material flowing, but Miss S will have none of it. She acts as if she were awake, but she is actually in a somnambulistic trance. Erickson: Yes, she thinks she is awake.
