Hollitscher states that 'When … an analyst says, one's line of thought is rationalized, he is not thereby expressing any opinion as to its rightness or wrongness or as to the correctness of the logical processes involved', and that 'the concept of rationalization belongs to the psychology of thought and not to logic'. This point is often misunderstood by critics of psychoanalysis.
