Occasional, judicious, more direct use can be made of the analyst's transference to facilitate the expression of certain elements of the analysand's psychic life. Bollas contends that often what the analyst feels (his internal response to the analysand) is how the patient "uses" the analyst. The analyst can then experience how the patient feels: "in order to find the patient you must look for him within yourself." The goal is appropriate selective expression of some of the analyst's subjective states of mind. This transformation of the analyst's own feelings into verbal representations that can be mutually considered is crucial in the analysis of some sicker patients not amenable to "classical" psychoanalysis. To this end the analyst must establish a "countertransference readiness," which is a mental neutrality and a creation of internal space where these feelings can be registered and recognized. Clinical examples illustrate Bollas's ideas.
