The analyst's legitimate gratifications have been little studied but are important for a complete understanding of the two-person psychoanalytic relationship. Szasz agrees with Sharpe's list, and adds pleasure derived from 1, doing useful work, 2, being needed, 3, mastery of conflicts in human relations, and 4, contact with patients as a protection against loneliness. The total is probably unique and differentiates the analytic situation from other similar two-person situations.
