    Abstract

    Lawrence Spurling’s chapter proceeds to different territory and questions. What, he asks, is good clinical writing? And how is the clinical work of others, founders, teachers, and proponents, best presented, as part of learning the craft of psychotherapy? “Cases” can become written exemplars, as they were for Freud, but the question remains of whose narrative it is, and what the implications might be when intimate clinical experiences are translated by just one of the participants from the spoken to the written word? A wide range of thinkers, including Freud, Malan, and Ogden, informs his account.
