From Fancyclopedia 2, ca. 1959
Originally called psychoanalyses, articles of this type consist of taking oneself apart, usually in the third person, explaining how a fan got to be what he is and what he thinks he is. The Washington Worry-Warts took the lead in this activity. Emphasis is usually on universality, or at least wide applicability, rather than Byronic display of differentness from everybody else.
