Berna points out specific characteristics of child analysis and sketches a theory concerning the technique of termination. Because of parental intervention children's treatment is broken off more than is the case in adult analysis. Children dislike looking back, which limits the possibilities for working through. By removing resistances the analyst facilitates developmental advances which lead the child to new experiences and friendships and carry him away from analysis and transference. In this manner termination may frequently be introduced. The review of countertransference appears especially indicated in child analysis.
