ABSTRACT
In presenting a sense of how I see psychoanalytic process, there are clinical issues at stake, and of course, these matters also reside in the realms of political and social values and ethical ideals. I begin with the notion that while there is such a thing as nonanalytic versus analytic method, I have considerable doubt about the value of making distinctions between “psychoanalytic psychotherapy” and “psychoanalysis.” Rather, I believe that what we call psychoanalytic process can be dened relatively simply.
