Although the analytic situation does not create the affects and phenomena that appear in it, it is not possible to separate the analyst as a pure observer of what happens in it. It seems more and more difficult to support the idea that the patient's behavior and transference relation reflect faithfully, passively, and purely repetitively the history of his relations with significant original objects. The transference is not an immediate reproduction of the history of the subject, a reliving in all its points similar to the historical experiences that have modeled his existence. It is a mediate, approximate, and deformed construction. However well grounded and applied, the technical rules actively influence the transference.
