    movement has convinced me that personal animus was in the main responsible for the fact that the three great European analysts struck diverging paths. There are, however, no irreconcilable differences separating their points of view. It is most gratifying to note that no such unpleasant feelings have disturbed the relations existing between men like White, Jelliffe, Jones and Kempf in the United States and Canada. Rising far above the level of personal likes and dis¬ likes, the American analysts have done much to unify the analytic theories into a coherent and inclusive system and to make psychoanalysis a means of reinterpretation of life and behavior. An effort has been made in the present book to avoid technical terms whenever the current vernacular offered adequate equivalents. The terminology of psychoanaly¬ sis being new and unusual, every analytical expression has been elucidated when first encountered. Should the reader’s memory fail him, he will find at the end of the book a glossary explaining in the simplest possible way the meaning of every new word employed by the new science.
