“Clinical Diary” (1932), written by Sandor Ferenci a year before his death, is a kind of intellectual testament of the famous Hungarian psychoanalyst, one of the closest friends and associates of Z. Freud. Being convinced of the reversibility of all mental processes that are not hereditary, Ferenci tried to develop a technique that would allow patients to overcome the splitting of personality through their awareness of the injury and its transfer to the past in the form of a memory. The author of the “Diary” owns the idea that the individual factor in psychotherapy, by which he meant, first of all, the person’s personal involvement, the nature of his experiences and how he expresses them, the necessary component in treatment. During the analysis of patients, he refuses both Freudian active therapy and his previous technique of permissibility and relaxation. As a result of insufficiency of his own analysis, he also practiced mutual analysis with a number of his patients. He shows how this idea arose, how it was carried out, and how he came to her criticism.
Clinical Diary contains interesting philosophical thoughts to Ferenci about the nature of the human psyche, social processes and the world order itself. Highlighting the masculine principle (desire for self -affirmation) and female (attraction to reconciliation), the author considers them as two fundamental principles of being.
According to the American psychoanalyst B. Kilborn, Ferenci"s clinical diary is the best book on the clinical psychoanalysis of the twentieth century
