Abstract

ined groups in order to determine general patterns of response. For research as well as for teaching, there is also a need to effect a more minute analysis of one or two individuals. Such has been the technique of some of the psychoanalytic researchers, especially Norman Holland. In this study, the technique of minute analysis is employed to examine the ways in which the perception of reality and fantasy in an individual affects that individual's response to fiction and, poetry.
