A patient in psychotherapy has an optimum level of regression in the transference which enables him to use the therapeutic experience to the greatest
advantage. It is this optimum which must be considered along with the patient's propensity and tolerance for regression in order to determine the type of psychotherapy and the modifications of technique in any individual case. Classical psychoanalysis differs from psychotherapy in aiming to develop a unique type of transference, the transference neurosis, which ultimately is resolved by interpretation.
