ABSTRACT
Analysis, like life, is concerned with communication, but with boundaries. Both of these determine growth and movement, or else paralysis, stagnation, and despair. The problem of communication and of the strengthening of ego boundaries belong together. Successful analysis depends on whether each one for himself becomes able to evolve and adapt a theoretical framework, which avoids a betrayal or surrender of his unique personality, his experiences, and capacities. It is in the fundamental area that the author have found similarities, and decisive chasms, between analysts of the Jungian and Freudian schools, reflecting important links or divergences of technique that require recognition and elaboration so that the building of bridges can proceed. Conversely, the aim of reductive analysis cannot be other than to make possible a reconstellation of psychic forces from which greater wholeness and harmony may result. The misunderstandings that arise from differing uses of language are, of course, real and relevant to any discussion of problems of communication.
