Example text
In general terms, it could be said that it is the result of the analyst feeling that the analysand has frustrated him. In this sense, we could claim, although it may only be partly accurate, that whenever the analyst is angry, the analysand has a feeling of guilt about his transference aggressiveness. To put this in the terms of the present paper: whenever the analyst experiences anger, the analysand is defending himself from the basic paranoid situation, which is being transferred in a latent fashion by means of the identification with the “bad object” (that is, the frustrating object).
In fact, in order to defend himself from paranoid anxieties, the patient had behaved like a “wolf” (that is, like the object that persecuted him),12 while at the same time he sought punishment for this behavior in those situations where he himself fell victim to others, or else felt he might. Translated from the Spanish by Valeria Muscio and Robert Oelsner. Italics below reproduce those in the original publication. – ed. Summary Observations on counter-transference as a technical instrument When empathy or identification with the analysand – that is, the principal mechanism for understanding him – is being interfered with by countertransference reactions, these can constitute an important guide for analytic treatment.
