| [Other] Analysts who have inspired me: 1. John Michael Brearley |

Iron Mike, addressing the British Psychoanalytical Society, defending our art from the encroaches of the NHS, HMO's, mere ego psychology and, (gasping for breath), social workers:
I will end, if you will forgive me, with an analogy. It is only partial. In the world of cricket there are those who favour one-day cricket and those who favour five-day cricket. Others favour three-day cricket. One-day cricket appeals to a wide audience. It is fast, exciting and athletic. Five-day cricket is often slower, but its aficionados claim that it offers the widest possible range of cricketingskills, and that when such a match is close, the tension is that muchthe greater. When a match stagnates, the boredom is much greater, too. Five day therapy also offers the widest possible risk of stagnation,whether induced by patients' resistances, or by the analyst's shortcomings; but it also at best is a treatment for the widest possiblerange of character traits and unconscious qualities.
All that and a thoughroughly repectable test average too
