    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Psychoanalysis

    Background:

    • Second analyses provide a unique vantage point for studying the psychoanalytic process.
    • Comparing current analytic experiences with past ones illuminates subtle transference dynamics.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the analyst's position in second analyses for studying the psychoanalytic process.
    • To explore how differences in analysand descriptions reveal transference resistances.
    • To examine characterological derivatives of latent transference resistances.

    Main Methods:

    • Comparative analysis of the analyst's observations in a second analysis versus the analysand's retrospective account of the first.
    • Focus on identifying and analyzing characterological manifestations of transference resistance.

    Main Results:

    • Differences between the two analytic experiences highlight subtle transference resistances.
    • Transference resistances manifest in specific characterological patterns.
    • Understanding these patterns can reveal how they impede the analytic process.

    Conclusions:

    • Second analyses are valuable for understanding the nuances of transference resistance.
    • Characterological derivatives of resistance can be identified and integrated into the therapeutic process.
    • This approach offers a method for addressing otherwise impeding resistances.
