We propose that in order to teach a seminar on the theory of technique to advanced students, we must work towards the following end: that students should be acquainted with various possible psycho-analytical techniques, by means of a method based on differences and similarities, comparisons; thesis and antithesis, so as to enable them to gain perspective and achieve a criterion of their own technique, based on the capacity to develop discriminating judgement (which will not tell them what is right or wrong but what is more adequate for themselves, so as to help them find their own identity) and to increase their ego capacity by weakening their rigid and prohibitory superego.

We think that having this in view classes should be conducted by a team of professors (collaboration) who work together with a team of students, actively participating in the discussion of each subject.
