ABSTRACT
To consider the part played by the analyst’s personality and the significance of the many forms of resistance that emerge in the patient — analyst relationship leads me next to the study of the conditions that make possible the formation of object-relations and internal objects. In analytical psychology this can with profit be related to archetypal theory which, I shall argue, has a special contribution to make to the subject. The practical problem is that of a person being able to link the experienced objects of the personal and non-personal environment on the one hand with the appropriate internal, though objective, processes of the self on the other. There is a gain if this can be done in such a way that their reality in their own right can become a true psychological experience for the subject and hence can be appropriately related to by him because thereby greater objectivity and a fuller and deeper relationship can be attained.
