Kestemberg divides character neuroses into the neurotic character, the classical character neurosis, and the psychotic character. The first may react with benefit to a temporary interruption of analysis. The second, if accepted into treatment, will have a better prognosis if sought during a crisis and, if the analyst can meet the emotional pressures involved, may be able gradually to enter a classical analysis. The third may be benefited beyond a certain point by transfer to another analyst.
