Synopsis

Schafer (Columbia U. Center for Psychoanalytic Training and Research) explores the central themes that have animated his work in psychoanalysis. The first section explores such technical issues as deciding what requires interpretation, enhancing readiness to work towards insight, and problems of keeping track of the analytic process. Conceptual issues of analysts' neutrality are also considered. After developing his approach to psychoanalysis, he describes how it is applied to sexual and gendered issues.
