141 S. Gutes Exemplar, Text sauber, keine Eintragungen. Good copy, clean text, no inscriptions. --- What was it like to be Sigmund Freud's patient, to be analyzed by the creator of psychoanalysis? Very few patients of Dr. Freud ever kept records of their psychoanalytic interviews, and fewer still have ever made them public. The intimate recollections found in these pages are one of the first recorded journals of the analysis of a distin- guished American psychiatrist by Sig- mund Freud. -- -- Dr. Smiley Blanton, author, teacher, psychiatrist, and co-founder of the American Foundation for Religion and Psychiatry, kept meticulous notes and an intimate diary of his meetings and conversations with Freud. Not surpris- ingly, the reader comes to know the personality of Freud as well as that of Dr. Blanton. More important, however, one learns precisely how Freud worked: what he said, his many moods, how the patient was queried, and many other factors. -- -- The diary traces Dr. Blanton's analy- sis from September, 1929, to June, 1930, and three later brief sessions in 1935, 1937, and 1938. The recordings are important material for both the layman and all students of psychology. Introductory biographical notes and a concluding commentary by Margaret Gray Blanton, the author's widow, serve to amplify the text and to place it in proper historical perspective.
