Financial) ones, to go through with a full analysis and bring it to what we regard as a satisfactory conclusion, that is with sufficient ego development for them to be able to live successfully in real independence of the analyst. In such cases a superficial relationship of dependence is continued (and rightly continued) indefinitely, by means of occasional "maintenance" sessions, the contact being preserved deliberately by the analyst. Such patients we can keep in this way without guilt, and the high proportion of successes in the treatment of these patients, it seems to me, may well depend on that very freedom from guilt.
I think part of the difficulty arises from the fact that (considering it metapsychologically) the analyst's total attitude involves his whole psyche, id and any superego remnants as well as ego (he is also concerned with all these in the patient), and there are no clear boundaries differentiating them. 3. A n y analysis (even self-analysis) postulates both an analysand and an analyst; in a sense they are inseparable. A n d similarly transference and counter-transference are inseparable; some thing which is suggested in the fact that what is written about the one can so largely be applied to the other.
In my view Freud's demand that the analyst must "recognize and master" his counter-transference does not lead to the conclusion that the counter-transference is a disturbing factor and that the analyst should become unfeeling and detached, but that he must use his emotional response as a key to the patient's unconscious. This will protect him from entering as a co-actor on the scene which the patient re-enacts in the analytic relationship and from exploiting it for his own needs. At the same time he will find ample stimulus for taking himself to task again and again and for continuing the analysis of his own problems.
