Henry Abramovitch has written a mystery that astonishingly replicates the process of individuation in Jungian analytical treatment. Like any mystery it focuses on uncovering clues to the problem and finding a solution. This story is assisted by the guide of the analyst and the active imagination of the client in the character of Sherlock Holmes, of all people. The book brings into question the personality and role of the analyst, the meaning of the symptom, and the personality and role of the client. Like analysis, the ending is a surprise, culminating from a startling beginning plot line with spell-binding intrigue. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
