Basing his methods on the work of Melanie Klein, the author has treated schizophrenics by interpretation of positive and negative transference and of unconscious thoughts and by directing interpretations especially to the manifest and latent anxieties. Analytic procedures are followed faithfully though flexibly, because of the special characteristics of the relationship stemming from the nature of the pathology. The patient's behavior, gestures, and actions are analyzed more than in the analysis of neurotics. Even acutely confused schizophrenics can utilize constructively interpretations of transference. Typical of the transference are the patient's impulse to intrude into the analyst with positive and negative feelings and his defenses against this object relationship.
