ABSTRACT
Experience and reflection upon experience are the two components that push forward emotional development. One role of the arts is to expand emotional experience, but there are some experiences that we shrink from. John Klauber stressed that the psychoanalytical procedure was itself traumatic, and it is probable that he may have believed that it encompassed analysts' deepest panics. This may be so at some very deep level of sensitivity but, for rough souls, some outer assistance may be needed. Psychoanalysis alone can unveil peoples" subterranean terrors. It may be necessary to shake up the personality through confronting these primordial fears. There is another important point: that all human beings are able to distinguish between truth and falsity. The aim of psychoanalysis is to develop and increase the self-knowledge. Therefore, psychoanalysts need to develop a practice based on a different foundation.
