Clinical consequences of a formal mode of science of psychoanalysis and psychotherapy

Abstract:
The paper has presented some ways in which existing formal-mode science results are of importance to the practicing clinician. Stress was placed on the quantification and mathematical identification of countertransference difficulties. Formal science results allow for deep insight into the effects of various approaches to doing psychotherapy that have not been previously available. By adding a new dimension to psychoanalytic observation and understanding, formal science studies of the deeper nature of the human mind and of the therapeutic interaction should help in time to lead to major revisions in clinical theory and practice.
