ABSTRACT
In this chapter, the author presents a case history of child Alfred at age of 10. Alfred's father has a general sense of frustration because he is involved in an administrative office job and has had to suppress his need to be creative. He has a violin, and the strap round the violin represents the fact that the father has not been able to develop his musical interests. It could be said this way, that if the author could undo the strap of his father's violin, then his father could be creative and could get into contact with his deeper self. With the father happier, Alfred would be able to give up pushing and overstraining in a hopeless attempt to boost his father's effort to make a success of a hated routine job that is the reverse of creative.
