Abstract
THE author of this book, a doctor of science, sought analysis both as a means of cure for his emotional difficulties and as a scientific experiment. After two hundred hours of work under two analysts, with whom he got at cross purposes, he came upon a method of self-analysis, a writing down of his own free associations, which enabled him to recover early memories—potent in causing his difficulties—the recovery of which brought decidedly beneficial results. This experience he now offers as an encouragement to others to do likewise.
