THE PATIENT AND THE ANALYST

thinking in this area had been substantially clarified and in many respects modified. It is our hope that this book will be of particular value to those training and teaching in psychoanalytic training institutes. We are indebted to Sir Denis Hill, Professor of Psychiatry at the Institute of Psychiatry, for the special efforts which he made to provide us with the opportunity and facilities to carry out our work, and for his continued encouragement. Dr Eliot Slater risked his reputation as Editor-in-Chief of The British Journal of Psychiatry in accepting a series of ten papers (Sandler, Dare, & Holder, 1970a, b, c, d, 1971; Sandler, Holder, & Dare, 1970a, b, c, d, e; some additional material has been drawn from two other papers: Sandler, 1968, 1969) containing much of the work included in this book after seeing only the first two, and we are grateful to him for this, as for his tolerant and good-humoured support.
