    Area of Science:

    • Psychoanalysis
    • Psychology
    • Psychotherapy

    Background:

    • Defining the core components of psychoanalysis is crucial for understanding its efficacy.
    • Distinguishing the psychoanalytic process from related concepts like transference neurosis and technique is essential.
    • Freud's foundational work in 1913 offers a basis for conceptualizing the psychoanalytic process.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To delineate the psychoanalytic process and differentiate it from the psychoanalytic situation, transference neurosis, insight, and general psychoanalytic technique.
    • To establish a concept of the psychoanalytic process based on Freud's 1913 views.
    • To explore the continuation of the psychoanalytic process beyond the termination of formal analysis.

    Main Methods:

    • Conceptual analysis based on Freud's 1913 writings.
    • Description and comparison of the clinically observable "unit" of the psychoanalytic process with Bernfeld's "facts of observation."
    • Theoretical proposition regarding the postanalytic continuation of the process.

    Main Results:

    • The psychoanalytic process is conceptualized as centered on the recognition and interpretation of resistances and the patient's reactions to the analyst's interventions.
    • A clinically observable "unit" of the process is described and compared to Bernfeld's "facts of observation."
    • The psychoanalytic process is proposed to continue after formal analysis, improving the patient's self-observation capacity.

    Conclusions:

    • The psychoanalytic process is distinct from the analytic situation, transference neurosis, insight, and technique.
    • The process is characterized by the interpretation of resistances and patient responses, continuing post-termination to enhance self-observation.
    • A caution against "perfectibilism" and an embrace of the imperfect analytic hour are advised.
