ABSTRACT
Adler was one of the ablest of Freud's pupils. 1 He had but one notable weakness; he could not analyse. He found it difficult to discover the phenomena of the unconscious mental life. It was, in many cases, easy to amend his dream interpretations; in his study of his patients he could seldom find his way into regions which Freud and most of Freud's other pupils could enter without difficulty. I do not think that Adler lacked talent. His inability was the expression of a lack of desire.
