This paper consists of a series of reflections on the "here and now" in analysis, stimulated by recent renewed interest in the subject. The subject is considered briefly in historical perspective. In addition to the central issue of transference interpretation, a broader conception of current process is briefly examined. The entire "here and now" complex is viewed as dynamically indispensable to the effective reconstruction of the past. The critical role of the transference neurosis is stated. Certain dynamic and technical desiderata are developed. The importance of adequate attention to the patient's "reality" is emphasized in its multiple references.
