He also expressed the hope that his thoughts would stimulate them to raise questions of their own, to pursue ideas of their own in order to continue the advance of the science of psychoanalysis. I made some revisions in Arnold Goldberg's and Paul Stepans ky's editing of my husband's manuscript by including some passages from the original that I knew my husband felt were important to com municate--even to reiterate-which they had omitted for reasons of style. Although my inclusion of these passages may make the book somewhat more difficult to read, I hope that readers will have the necessary patience, for I believe they will be rewarded for their efforts by the richness of the ideas expressed and enlarged upon in this book. I would like to express my thanks to our son, Tom, and to my husband's old friend Robert W. Wadsworth for their help to me in preparing the manuscript for publication. Elizabeth Kohut
