A narrational process in psychoanalysis consists of two people&colon; the psychoanalyst and the analysand. Ettinger was an analysand of Ronald Laing in London and Piera Aulagnier in Paris. Telling happens when the analysand tells in words about events; about the past. Among the members was a young medical friend and analysand of Baynes, Michael Fordham. Initially the analysand considers her beliefs about herself and her world to simply be true. The analysand seems to be operating in the present; even when talking about the past.
