ABSTRACT
The chapter explores that the purpose of drawing attention to a number of factors and phenomena in psychoanalysts clinical practice which are correlated in specific ways. It explains some general remarks and considerations about transference and counter transference. If sessions are almost daily, and once a child has settled down into treatment, he usually feels secure enough to reveal more regressive features of the internal object relationships during sessions. To put it differently: with a high frequency of sessions, a child is more likely to feel secure that its anxieties and other affects associated with regressive functioning can be contained by the analyst and the setting. The chapter also explores the differences that arise in different settings—differences in the quality of the relationship between child and therapist which develop, and differences in the momentum that the psychoanalytic process gains and the depths that it reaches, and differences in the realm of the transference-counter transference dynamics.
