A child's attempt at humor in the midst of a psychoanalytic session is examined. A joke is told that began as a dream which the 4-year-old analysand attempted to modify. The joke is not entirely successful from a formal standpoint. This "failure" is examined from the point of view of the anxiety that may have derailed the joke and the developmental immaturity that may have compromised it. A developmental line of the symbolic process is suggested, double meanings and multiple meanings becoming more complex as development proceeds.
本文探讨了一名儿童在精神分析治疗过程中尝试表现幽默的情况。讲述了一个源自梦境的笑话，四岁的受分析者试图对其进行修改。从形式角度来看，这个笑话并不完全成功。我们从可能使笑话偏离正轨的焦虑以及可能影响笑话的发展不成熟性这两个角度来审视这种“失败”。文中提出了一条象征过程的发展路线，随着发展的推进，双重含义和多重含义会变得更加复杂。
