Abstract

Tzur Mahalel reads this display of photos as Freud's warning of the dependence analysands may develop upon the analyst and this may well be how Kardiner interpreted it. In a letter from Freud to Frink at the time of Kardiner's analysis, Freud wrote: 'You are a naughty boy! Aside from the Wolf Man's case, Abram Kardiner's analysis is the earliest that Tzur Mahalel discusses - it took place in 1921 - yet it was one of the last to be published, under the title I My Analysis with Freud: Reminiscences i in 1977. Freud deliberately set the cat among the pigeons when he confessed that his case histories "read like short stories" and appear to "lack the serious stamp of science" ([1]-5, p. 160).
