The arguments regarding the scientific validity of analysis as a method are examined. The author proposes that one's psychoanalytic training in drawing inferences about oneself is related to the projections involved in the 'anthropomorphic' reasoning which enables a man to obtain a picture of what other people think in day-to-day relationships. The analyst's reasoning processes differ only in degree from these other (relatively) unsophisticated reasoning processes.
