Abstract

The author emphasizes Adrienne Harris's skillful use of autobiographical material in his writing, an aspect that contributes to making it a remarkable essay. He also argues that any psychoanalytic writing about is invariably autobiographical, and that this is also the way, in Walter Benjamin's phrase, to move from mere chronicle to history. Nothing in a psychoanalytic essay tastes true unless it has first been immersed in the subjectivity of the narrator. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
