And when we turn from the search for Truth back once more to therapeutics, we see immediately that here too we are in agreement. In practice expediency _must_ rule: the doctor from the yellow region must adapt himself to the sick in the yellow region, as must the doctor in the blue region, to his patients; both have the same object in view. And the doctor who lives in the white light of the sun must take into consideration the past experiences of his patients from the yellow or blue region, in spite of, or perhaps rather because of, his own wider knowledge. In such cases the way to healing will be long and difficult, may indeed lead more easily into a _cul-de-sac_, than in cases where he has to do with patients who, like himself, have already come to a knowledge of the white sunlight, or, one might say, when his patient-material has "already sorted itself out." With such sorted-out material the psychoanalyst can employ psychoanalysis exclusively; and may deem himself happy in that he need not "play the augur." Now, what are these psychoanalytic methods? If I understand you aright, from beginning to end it is a question of dealing directly and openly with _the basic forces of the human soul_, so that the analysed person, be he sick or sound or in some stage between--for health and sickness flow over by imperceptible degrees into one another--shall gradually have his eyes opened to the drama that is being acted within him. He has to come to an understanding of the development of the hostile automatisms of his personality, and by means of this understanding he must gradually learn to free himself from them; he must learn, too, how to employ and strengthen the favourable automatisms. He must learn to make his self-knowledge real, and of practical use, to control his soul's workings so that a balance may be established between the spheres of emotion and reason. And what share in all this has the physician's _suggestion_? I can scarcely believe that suggestion can be altogether avoided till the patient feels himself really _free_. Such freedom, it goes without saying, is the main thing to strive for, and it must be _active_. The sick man who simply obeys a suggestion, obeys it only just so long as the "transference to the doctor" remains potent. But if he wishes to be able to adjust himself to all circumstances he must have fortified himself "from within." He should no longer need the crutches of faith, but be capable of encountering all theoretical and practical problems squarely, and of solving them by himself. That is surely your view? Or have I not understood correctly? I next ask, must not every single case be treated differently, of course _within the limits of the psychoanalytic method_? For if every case is a case by itself, it must indeed demand individual treatment.
