The author is concerned with those patients encountered in private practice who refuse the recommendation of treatment or who drop out after a short time because of the therapist. Although this is really a paper on an aspect of countertransference, surprisingly none of the analytic literature on the subject is referred to. Personal material is cited which includes, mainly, rescue fantasies and inability to handle patients' hostility.
