This article discusses facets of the analytic work described by Frank and Bornstein, with particular emphasis on the fortuitous fit between analyst and patient, and on the nature of psychoanalytic love. I engage the authors’ ideas through reflecting on psychoanalysis as I practice it and elements of the discipline that I believe to be under-appreciated. I consider how my own particular selfhood affects the way I practice analysis and how the practice of analysis affects my selfhood.
