title: Observations on the utility of couples therapy conducted by a psychoanalyst--transference and countertransference in resistance to analysis.
abstract: This paper explores the premise that conviction concerning the therapeutic efficacy of psychoanalysis combined with a flexible attitude toward the structure of the analytic situation and the parameters of its techniques facilitates the acceptance of psychoanalysis in suitable cases as the treatment of choice. Clinical data from therapy with couples are presented in support of this premise.
