ABSTRACT
It is indeed appropriate that the subjects discussed at this first Pan-American Congress for Psychoanalysis are well known and thus provide the participants with a firm empirical basis, facilitating the attempt to reach mutual understanding across the barriers of language and differences in theoretical and clinical approach. It is to be welcomed that Drs. Alvarez de Toledo, Grinberg, and Langer have narrowed the focus of their inquiry to an even more circumscribed concrete topic: the termination of training analysis. This chapter discusses the dynamics of nonspecific regression than to the specific forms of character structure or of psychopathology frequently encountered among candidates. It focuses on deep regressive constellations of forces seems to outbalance the interest in the psychoeconomic changes effected during the course of the training analysis. the chapter describes the scrutiny of id content and of genetic material outweighs an examination of the forces at the disposal of the ego and of the adaptive resources in the candidate's personality.
