Frumkes examines the activity of the analyst, quoting from Freud, Ferenczi and others. Activity aims at re-education and at enforcing abstinence. Case histories illustrate such activity as that of giving active advice, establishing programs of behavior for the patient, prohibiting, etc. Frumkes states that such vigorous intervention is not a substitute for accepted techniques in analysis. 'The main object is still to make the unconscious conscious.' His objective is 'to use the activities and problems of daily life as a means of fixing the character changes which occur during the process of analysis'.
