Excerpt from The Elements of Practical Psychoanalysis: With a Supplementary Chapter on Principles of Thinking The object of this work is to give an account of the theory, technique, and scope of psychoanalysis, in such a form that its essentials may readily be understood by the student or practitioner without previous systematic reading in psychology and psychotherapy. At present should anyone wish to study the subject, even if only to grasp its general import, it is necessary for him to read not one, but several, large volumes on the matter, each of which will give him some information, but each of which presupposes that the reader has already mastered essential details in the course of previous reading. Added to this the terminology in use is of a highly technical nature, and to the beginner who has to refer continuously to a dictionary (which often does not contain the word required) this is very disconcerting, and frequently the reader is left with vague and mistaken notions.
