out-and-out con

. I de c id ed to unde rgo
psychoanalys is , and cont inued
with it for thre e yea r s. Analysis
r emoved inhibitions and anxiety
so tha t I could liv e the way I
wanted to liv e. Much of my progress
in analysis was accomplished in spite of
my analyst who did not like my “orientation,”
as he called it. He finally abandoned
analytic objectivity and put me down as an
“out-and-out con.” I was more pleased
with the results than he was.
