This paper stresses the overwhelming importance of the personal analysis in the training. The author agrees it must go farther and deeper than a therapeutic analysis; it is not enough to deal with the neurosis. The greatest care must be given to analysis of the analysand's ego in order to give him the most thorough understanding of all ego attitudes and peculiarities. Difficulty arises because of the absence of suffering in these analysands. The author recommends more rather than less frequent sessions. 'Pure instruction' would be easier, but less effective in eliminating the personal blind spots. She cautions especially against the hazard of the analyst's overevaluation of the self, which can be prevented only by the most thorough training analysis.
