The major task . . . will be to explore the unconscious, to investigate the subsoil of the mind. —Henri Bergson, La Rêve (1901) There is no limitation in the here and now of the encounter between patient and analyst. When this encounter takes place, during the analytic session, when the two talk to each other, then there is nothing more important in the world. —Erich Fromm, Zen Buddhism and Psychoanalysis (1960) It takes two people to speak the truth, one to speak, another to hear. —Henry David Thoreau, A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers (1849)
