ABSTRACT
In this chapter, the author compares and synthesizes the responses that the senior analyst provided to the candidates' questions, and also presents his personal comments. All the respondents addressed, explicitly or implicitly, the question of what is unique about the processes involved in the journey of learning and teaching of psychoanalysis, and also what the typical anxieties are, which accompany this journey, that are jointly worked through between the candidates and their analysts and supervisors. The respondents advocated strongly that the candidates would have complete freedom in selecting their supervisors. The teachers, in striving to meet the candidates' needs, should encourage their spontaneous comments and personal associations that emerge during the discussions of Sigmund Freud's dream hypotheses. In this process of learning and teaching, candidates begin to internalize Freud's ideas, as well as inquiring whether different patients require the analysts to utilize a multi-model approach in understanding and interpreting their patients' dreams.
