Starting from certain unpublished remarks by Otto Isakower about "the analyzing instrument," we define it more precisely. The analyzing instrument has two constituents: a voluntary and controlled, situation-specific and goal-specific regressed state of mind in the analysand and a near-identical one of the same nature in the analyst. These parts function together through mutually evocative communication, leading to the elucidation of the analysand's unconscious fantasy-memory constellations.
