On Reading Psychoanalytic Case Notes
On Reading Psychoanalytic Case Notes
This chapter presents some comments on the reading of psychoanalytic case notes. It suggests that Emerson's notes, as is likely true for the vast majority of cases in which the analyst takes notes during a session or soon afterward, are sketchy and elliptical, intended more as aide-mémoire for his personal use than as a full account of the case. The reader can, however, become accustomed and attuned to the psychoanalytic dialogue even by way of the select and attenuated version of it presented in the analyst's notes.
