Abstract
The process of phyloanalysis is primarily a study by one's self of reactions occurring within one's self under conditions of an experimental set-up which permits the inclusion simultaneously of the reactions of others in a commonly controlled observation. In phyloanalytic sessions the social restraints are not present which in ordinary settings prohibit the questioning and true evaluation by the individual of those contradictory and irrelevant trends within and about him which have their origin in definite processes of deflection and inattention. In the detection of this tendency to deflection, the student's interest can in no way be that of looking at the material presented by another as though that material were foreign to or outside of himself and capable of being regarded from an intellectual, projective viewpoint. On the contrary, the group-analytic procedure has shown that each individual is definitely implicated in and is an unconscious party to the material presented.
