The author deals with the difficulties involved in the choice of analysis as a profession and the necessary qualities of the psychoanalyst. Of great importance is the analyst's own personal analysis; his continued self-analysis; his repeated efforts to recognize his own neurotic conflicts and blind spots. A warm, spontaneous, enjoyable personal life outside his profession is important in helping the analyst to make psychoanalysis a worthy profession.
