The training analyst is not an anonymous voice in the relationship with his candidate, who comes to know a good deal about the analyst. This and other facts sometimes tempt the analyst to modify his technical procedure,—a most hazardous situation. No obstacle should deflect us from studying the unconscious reactions to analysis, and the unconscious fantasies underlying the candidate's response to external factors in his special relationship with his therapist, who may also be his teacher or a judge as to the candidate's ultimate suitability to practice. The analyst who identifies himself with his patient will treat him as an ambivalently loved object, with consequent disturbance in the countertransference. He must also be on guard to distinguish between true acceptance of interpretation and acceptance of the analyst's words as a sign of love. One must consistently analyze, in purely analytic fashion, the external interferences from the training course.
