Delusion and Dream : an Interpretation in the Light of Psychoanalysis of Gradiva

Perhaps the most extraordinary thing about the work is that the author knew nothing of psychotherapy as such; but wrought his way through the labyrinth of mechanisms that he in a sense rediscovered and set to work; so that it needed only the application of technical terms to make this romance at the same time a pretty good key to the whole domain of psychoanalysis. In a sense it is a dream-story; but no single dream ever began to be so true to the typical nature of dreams; it is a clinical picture; but I can think of no clinical picture that had its natural human interest so enhanced by a moving romance. Gradiva might be an introduction to psychoanalysis; and is better than anything else we can think of to popularize it. -Introduction by G.
