Authors

  • Peter Kutter

Abstract

Initially, the high responsibility of training analysts, following some limitations reported by former analysands in regard to their analysts, is emphasized. The role of the analyst as teacher is not neglected. The meanings of training analysis as both a teaching and learning process and a therapeutic experience are discussed, with different consequences for analyst, analysand, and institute. Experiences in both roles, analysand and analyst are openly presented. Finally the decisive role of self-experience is evaluated and differentiated from other goals of psychoanalytic training.

Keywords:
Training analysis, training analyst, candidate, institute, teaching, learning, responsibility, selfexperience.
