Gaps in abstinence in therapeutic training

Authors

  • Wolfgang Schmidbauer

Abstract

An example shows that the interplay of analysis, treatment, training relationship, and emotional relationship is complex. As a psychoanalyst, I argue for abstinence in therapy.

If the professional role is unclear, this often is an outcome of training. I differentiate two basic states of development of training institutions: the phase of movement towards a stable and well grounded institution and the state of institution with all its specific rules and manuals.
