The Corrective Emotional Experience — Its Place in Current Technique

I would like to begin by describing an imaginary dialogue that takes place in the middle of the twenty-first century. Engaged in discussion are two graduate students in history, E. Jones, IV, who is writing a dissertation on the history of psychoanalysis in the United States and P. Gay, III, whose field is American intellectual history. They meet in the cafeteria of the University at which they are studying.
