The Technique and Practice of Psychoanalysis

The author distinguishes between three critical aspects of psychoanalytic technique: the patient's 'real relationship' with the analyst, the 'working alliance', and the transference relationship. By grounding his approach in classical theory while offering fresh perspectives on accepted practices, he provides valuable insights into the dynamics of therapy. This nuanced understanding enhances the therapeutic process, highlighting the importance of these distinct relationships in fostering effective analysis.
