This is a book about Sigmund Freud and his theories and not about me. Freud exerted a deep influence on his generation, and in this country at least an even greater influence on the generation that followed him. This is not the place to do justice to his contributions or to elaborate on their significance. My main purpose is to give a picture of Freud as I saw him, and an account of some of his methods and views. Having had the opportunity as a student in my twenties to meet with him daily over a period of months, and having kept a diary of these meetings, I now feel it is time to spread the record out for general use. --- excerpt from book's Preface
