In Edgar Allan Poe's famous story, The Purloined Letter, a document of vital significance to the resolution of a crime is left sitting totally in the open, in the most obvious location. It is hidden by being exposed. I wish to make much the same point about the data of psychoanalysis: that is, the most ?hidden? data is often sitting right under one's nose. Patient's fantasy elaborations of their experience are often quite elaborate and dramatic, but the experience which underlies the phantasmagoria may be disarmingly familiar.
