Huffer presents a rather extensive discussion of the problem of setting fees in analysis, including a review of the literature, presentation of relevant material from four analytic cases, and a report on responses from candidates and recent graduates of the Baltimore Psychoanalytic Institute to a questionnaire on various aspects of fee problems. The topic of the fee may be highly charged with transference and countertransference conflicts and resistances. The reduced fee and the situation in which the fee is paid by someone other than the analysand are especially subject to a vast range of meanings, and it is necessary for the analysis to include thorough work on this material. A number of recommendations are presented to help the analytic student particularly to set a fee on as realistic a basis as possible.
