Abstract:
How the analyst and the patient shape the analysis is a complex matter varying with the stage of the analysis and the individual characteristics of each patient and analyst. Examining analytic hours from the beginning, middle, and end of a five-through-seven-year-old girl's treatment suggests an intricate pattern evolving from observing and learning toward elaborating a free-ranging, creative, multilevel interplay of internal dialogues and affects.
