The author argues that the word frame is misleading because it conjures up the image of a picture frame constructed of unyielding material like wood or metal. Psychoanalytic work demands a flexible frame in which patient and analyst together jointly construct a comfortable envelope within which to interact. Bass candidly acknowledges countertransference blind spots and illustrates the complexities of frame management in the course of analytic work. The transference—countertransference dimensions of psychoanalytic relationship cannot be seen from a position outside the dyad. Hence, periodic consultation with a senior and trusted colleague can be extremely useful in frame considerations. What we think may be in the best interests of the patient can be a rationalization designed to serve our own interests, consultation may be the best strategy for us to allow our blind spots to come into our visual field.
