Synopsis

Examines how an analyst comes to understand a patient, scrutinizing the theoretical underpinnings of the classical position and looking at other theoretical perspectives as well. Describes a method that enables the therapist to understand a patient's central unconscious organization in the clinical situation, arguing that classical theory describes rules of transformation of unconscious processes and showing how to use these rules to arrive at an understanding of the patient.
