title: Notes on psychoanalysis by a participant observer: a personal chronicle.
abstract: Experience has shown how difficult it may be to decide which ideas are of passing interest and relatively little value and which are more important and fruitful. Examples of each are given in the form of a personal memoir. Some thoughts are added about the present and the future from the same vantage point.
