The silence referred to is the analyst's permission to the patient to forego the basic rule; 'it's all right if you remain silent'. Extensive material from one patient is presented. The author justifies the use of the parameter in this patient using Eissler's criteria. The first part of the paper is an excellent review of the literature on the theoretical and technical implication of the silent patient.
