The title poorly describes the contents of this article in which Nacht voices his often repeated conviction that patients repeat their conflict-ridden past in transference not to relive the trauma but in the hope of finding what they missed. If, at the outset of analysis, frustration is maintained by too long a neutrality, an irreducible transference neurosis is formed, resulting in the impasse of an interminable analysis. However, excessive gratification can also be clearly prejudicial to evolution of cure. The author insists that the patient's wish can be gratified only on a nonverbal level by an unconscious-to-unconscious communication of the analyst's deep attitude of welcome and encouragement. Termination in such a situation is acceptable to the patient because the analyst has offered not real gratification but the possibility of the patient's obtaining it, and because the analyst, as witness, can certify the reality of this possibility.
