Sample text
I told the patient that we must consider that the one component that remained unaltered whatever happened was his conscience and that this seemed so exacting that he was driven by it from one frightening and demanding situation to another. The patient’s oscillations helped him to try out his methods of reality testing by enabling him to compare his findings in oral and ocular phases. The injured object had been very thoroughly explored on an oral level before being submitted for scrutiny by the “eye men”.
Patient “A” personified his splits with such success that in some sessions, as I have said, one might almost imagine one’s self watching a session of play therapy with a child. “B” seemed to feel as inadequately equipped for the exploration of intra-psychic tensions as he did for contact with reality and I could not help feeling that “A”, particularly in the sessions devoted to the consultants, when he seemed able to tolerate my presence as a person in my own right, was demonstrating, by his personifications, his attempt to bridge the gulf to reality, and displaying, in doing so, one factor that contributed to hopefulness about the outcome of his analysis.
On expansion it appears that he thinks he has reached this pass as a penalty for forging this instrument of verbal thought and using it to escape from his former state of mind; hence the unwillingness I described to use his greater verbal capacity except as a mode of action.

The patient was a schizophrenic who had been in analysis five years; I describe some essentials of two sessions.
