The successful analysis is carried by the transference with its revival of infantile impulses and wishes. Transference provides the basis from which we start, makes possible the modification and temporary changes of the superego, and leads to the therapeutic alliance. The ego is set free for its effort to understand and to disentangle itself from blind pressures from both id and superego. The final achievement of this process lies in insight into and understanding of infantile conflicts, defenses, and guilt. At the same time new identifications with a new and mature superego and ego ideal take place which go pari passu with the increasing ability and necessity of achieving sublimation. There are patients whose serious neurotic disturbance is due to an early developmental arrest or severe traumata, initiating a defensive regressive move into the realm of infantile narcissistic aggrandizement. In his paper "Narcissism and the Ego Ideal" Murray demonstrated convincingly for a series of such patients the importance of the reorganization of the ego ideal. Indispensable and difficult as it may be for these patients with a deeply rooted narcissistic ego ideal to bring about the necessary changes, this same process represents, in a less arduous form, a factor of importance in every analysis which we bring to a successful conclusion.
