ABSTRACT
Each of the earlier chapters has been, in one way or another, about intervening in conflict, but to continue to discuss intervening as we get further into an analysis, we need to refer to the previous consideration of regression. We recognize that the patient came because he was in conflict. Now, his conflicts are more obvious and they seem to have invaded the analytic situation as well. Conflict implies at least two antagonistic parties. How can the analyst who wants to preserve his technical neutrality intervene without taking sides?
