Every analytic patient enters analysis with (or develops partly during analysis) five aims. One is conscious and four are unconscious: (1) (Conscious) I suffer and want to rid myself of my neurosis. (2) I want to live out and materialize repressed wishes. (3) I want to eliminate feelings of guilt. (4) I want to strengthen unconscious defenses without change in the displacement of guilt upon a 'lesser crime'. (5) (Developed during analysis) I want to maintain my neurosis although I am willing to give up, under pressure, a few trimmings. These aims are demonstrated in several cases. Of particular importance is the displacement of guilt and the resistance against having it reconnected with its original source.
