Some reflections on psychoanalysis!

Intuition and its development is continuously evolving towards resolution of time/space structural thinking forward into infinity – To move into higher states of resolving the Oedipal triangle.

On the contract between therapist and client

The therapist should maintain a stand with his clients that they should pay for the 50 minutes for him to be available to them. How he choses to respond in those 50 minutes is up to the therapist.
At times when the client is silent in spite of being invited to speak it might be useful to use a process comment and draw attention to what is going on between them – the silence…This could be supportive but it is also a form of rescuing and giving reassurance and therefore fostering dependency.

Therefore do not offer reassurance or self-disclosure – this may lead to anger in the client who may feel that the therapist should speak because he has exclusive rights to him. This is narcissistic. This is necessary to be thwarted through successful containing - then movement from 2D to 3D is possible which in itself would be a growth process for the client. As the process continues the client should develop containing abilities in combination with insights which would lead to development of intuition.


Zero Hour is the ultimate case which proves that laziness does not exist.

Containing the client beyond a certain point might be harmful to the client because the client may feel that it is OK to do anything with the therapist which will lull the client into a false reality. This may also make the therapist not genuine as he would be obviously repressing his feelings of anger and hurt. This could be harmful to the therapist as he deals with this through rationalization and denial leading to displacement. Therefore, conscious sublimation is required for the therapist such as physical exercises and support systems.

Typically the therapist is looked upon as an authority figure so a power equation definitely exists. This looking at a person as an authority figure could stem out of respect which is fine or it could stem out of conditioning (through the process of introjection). Therefore the client looks at the therapist as an extension of his own superego and in the process blurs his own identity (the reverse of differentiation)

For people with a fragile sense of self or low self-worth they are unable to accept that they are good and therefore consider it totally unacceptable which they then project onto the therapist thus idolizing him. (A form of ‘reverse projection’) where the good part because of its unacceptability to its host has been projected onto the other.

Benign Projective identification may result in a transformation which includes highly increased empathy which is the ultimate basis for a paradigm shift especially in the ability to contain.


You cannot glimpse the future because that would assume that time is apriori.
