Of such hidden meanings the patient himself is, more often than not, entirely unaware. His subjective experience may be a remarkably concretistic one. One hebephrenic women confided to me, ``I live in a world of words,'' as if, to her, words were fully concrete objects; Burnham, in his excellent article (1955) concerning schizophrenic communication, includes mention of similar clinical material. A borderline schizophrenic young man told me that to him the various theoretical concepts about which he had been expounding, in a most articulate fashion, during session after session with me, were like great cubes of almost tangibly solid matter up in the air above him; as he spoke I was reminded of the great bales of cargo which are swung, high in the air, from a docked steamship.
