Seventy-five psychoanalysts completed questionnaires about their own experiences in analysis. The items rated as most helpful were those related to the analyst's qualities, such as genuineness and openness. The intervention most correlated with perceived change, however, was “helped me become aware of experiences I was avoiding,” with openness to ideas and experiences and toleration of anger also highly related to perceived change. A factor analysis revealed 5 factors, with active interventions, supportive relationship, and disclosure/mutuality significantly correlated with change. The areas in which the analysts noted the most change in themselves were related to capacities for intimacy and a wider range of emotions and behaviors. These areas of change are not the traditional ones associated with symptom reduction, although serious symptoms were also reported as ameliorated. The results indicate that the most effective interventions are active ones in a supportive relationship, suggesting that more than a good alliance is needed.
