Talk by Nigel Walker Ph.D. ,
Chairman of the Edinburgh Davidson Clinic
In this talk Dr. Walker considers different ways of describing the condition of the patient and the process of his cure. The language of psycho-analysis is bound to be metaphorical to some extent, and it is important that the metaphor should be recognised as such and should indicate what really happens. Dr. Walker is concerned with techniques dealing with the parent-child relationship and using the method of ' transference.*
