If the underlying memory is not deeply blurred, this questioning may recall it, and it is only necessary to insist upon the man talking about the incident. "Next I make the patient close his eves and visualize the dream, and I try to ascertain what particular feature causes emotion. By dwelling on this feature fea-ture T induce an emotional state and assure as-sure him that he felt like that before and that memory is coming up. "When success Is attained there is a udden change of facial expression eleven el-even an access of terror. By this 1 know I have reached the true cause of the dream.
