"The Privacy of the Self" was the first collection of papers
showing the development of Masud Khan's thinking over twenty five
years of clinical work. He was nurtured in the tradition of Anna
Freud, John Rickman and D.W. Winnicott, but his contribution to
psychoanalytic literature was a distinctive and personal one. What
emerges from this book is the natural and private crystallization
of his experiences with his patients and teachers.As he says in his
preface: "Psychoanalysis is an extremely private discipline of
sensibility and skill. The practice of psychoanalysis multiplies
this privacy into a specialized relationship between two persons,
who through the very nature of their exclusivity with each other
change each other. The first thing I wish to say about my work
reported in these papers is that my patients have helped me become
and personalize my potential of thought, affectivity and effort
into a way of life that I find deeply satisfying. Had I followed
another career perhaps my life would have been more dramatic and
varied, but certainly not fuller. My relation with my patients has
taught me the humility and necessity of the need of the other for
one to be and become oneself."
