The "hidden selves" that Masud Khan reveals to us in this third
volume of his psychoanalytic writings are to be understood in two
ways. Primarily, they are those aspects of the self which are
inherent in, but unsuspected by, the individual concerned, and
which need to be identified if that individual is to achieve a full
and healthy self-awareness. More broadly, they are the ingredients
of human nature which may not be evident on the surface but which
can be brought out through literature or art, for example, or
through the insights gained in psychoanalysis.In analysis, and over
a period of time, both analyst and patient discover parts of their
personality that were unknown to each other at the start. The
person is not just a single 'self' but a collage of hidden selves;
and one of the goals of psychoanalysis is to find out how this
collage functions for the individual concerned - whether through
symptomatology or through introspection. The close relationship of
patient and analyst, the gradual finding of one's self through the
other, was elucidated by the author in two earlier books, "The
Privacy of the Self" and "Alienation in Perversions." In this third
book Masud Khan offers further evidence, mostly in the form of some
remarkable case histories, of the rewards that can be achieved, by
both parties, through the mutual endeavors of the psychoanalytic
process.
