ABSTRACT
I am including this paper because I think it may be of interest at this point, when my writing life is coming to an end. It is the first paper I ever wrote in my analytic life, and after it I did not write another for fourteen years. I hope I am right in judging it worthy of inclusion; it is a sort of curiosity, though it shows much of what I recognize as familiar in my interests, and in my writing style. I have retained my use of the present tense in describing the course of the analysis as, to my mind, since the analysis was still proceeding when I wrote the paper, this is appropriate to it as a living process.
