Psychoanalysis and psychotherapy are constrasted in several respects: 1, Analysis does not gratify the patient's wish for the infantile object but, instead, frustrates and removes it through analyzing its manifestations and resistances in the transference. Psychotherapy, on the other hand, does gratify the infantile wish in the person of the therapist and leaves the transference unanalyzed. 2, Displacements of the infantile wish are exposed in analysis, and are then destroyed and replaced by sublimations. In psychotherapy, displacements to new symptoms are supplied or permitted by way of inexact interpretation and through projection and introjection. 3, The reintegration sought in analysis is replaced by supplying stability in psychotherapy. The latter is accomplished by supporting the ego defenses, supporting the superego by commands and prohibitions, educating and supplying information, and effecting reality changes.
