Little largely agrees with Winnicott and affirms the distinction between neurotics and other types with regard to what the analyst does. In the treatment of nonneurotics, the analyst may experience intense affects and an example is given of spontaneous responses to a patient which were not interpretations but which enabled the patient to achieve some insight and to clarify shadowy ego boundaries. This spontaneity, Little feels, is an unconscious ego function and is not often stressed as part of the analyst's equipment. Relying upon this capacity, she questions whether Heimann is correct in feeling that any such responses may interfere with analysis. Little agrees that they are not necessary with neurotics, but may actually be useful with nonneurotics. In any analysis there is countertransference, and its self-analysis enables the analyst to grow as well as the patient.
