ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the author's some observations on a few aspects, especially controversial ones. His interest in the method and theory of group-analytic psychotherapy led him to quite new views concerning the whole of psychopathology and psychotherapy, including psychoanalysis. Psychoanalysis is indispensable as a method of training, but it is not, all considered, the best method of psychotherapy. Group analysis is far superior as a form of psychotherapy and the best method to study the theory of psychotherapy. Psychoanalysis sees the individual as a background. It highlights processes emanating from the body and those resulting from precipitations of early "object" relations, or even inherited prohibitions and taboos. The fundamental discoveries that people owe to some psychoanalytical way of looking at themselves are infantile sexuality, unconscious processes and transference. Transference is the unrecognized transfer of unresolved experiences in early childhood into other people, and in particular the analyst.
