[Comments on the concept of the so-called negative therapeutic reaction].

The author recommends a consistent analytic rather than therapeutical or educational response to the negative therapeutic reaction whenever it occurs in the treatment process. This attitude is especially helpful in cases where strivings for autonomy are active behind the negative therapeutic reaction and where these are jeopardized by the intermingling of the patient's projective identifications with those of the therapist.

The patient in the psychoanalyst's consulting room--the first consultation as a psychoanalytic encounter.

The first consultation with the psychoanalyst is described as a psychoanalytic encounter if the analyst conducts it from beginning to end in a psychoanalytic posture in which the work of interpretation is based on the unconscious scene of the transference-countertransference relationship. It then offers patient and analyst alike sufficient anticipatory experience to predict within limits what might be expected for both parties in a possible ensuing psychoanalysis. This conception of the psychoanalytic consultation is illustrated by a detailed case history.
