The author has come upon a certain type of early memory showing the quality of genuine recollection of significant experiences, which are distinct in its qualities from screen memories. These creative writers seem to have undertaken the recording of their lives under some intense emotional stress and when they were advanced in years. Mostly they describe not memories of events but emotional relationships and experiences, feelings of anxiety, despair, bliss, and early instinctual gratifications, reaching back to the end of the first year of life. The writers were men showing pathological traits but with a high degree of creative integration.
