Neutrality (psychoanalysis)
- Neutrality (psychoanalysis)
-
«One of the defining characteristics of the attitude of the analyst during the treatment. The analyst must be neutral in respect of religious, ethical and social values -that is to say, he must not direct the treatment according to some ideal, and should abstain from counselling the patient; he must be neutral too as regards manifestations of transference (this rule usually being expressed by the maxim, 'Do not play the patient's game'); finally, he must be neutral towards the discourse of the patient: in other words, he must not, a priori, lend a special ear to particular parts of this discourse, or read particular meaning into it, according to his theoretical preconceptions».[1]
