Barande examines another analytic phenomenon in France, the development of a group of analysts who elect to remain outside the analytic societies, hoping thus to avoid the conflicts and schisms which have occurred among these societies. He feels that the goals of this "marginal" group are illusory and their approach questionable. The future of psychoanalysis is necessarily with the individual, even within societies, and resides in the aptitude of the individual to rediscover Freud's message. There may be temporary difficulties in organized analytic circles, but this is not to be seen as compromising the continued advance of psychoanalytic research or the perennial creativity of psychoanalytic thought.
