title: [Critique of the "therapeutic ego split"].
abstract: The technical relevance of the concept of a therapeutic ego split is rigorously examined. In the author's view, the distinction between a neurotic transference and a non-neurotic working alliance serves the therapist as a defense against anxiety rather than as a clarification of his intricate involvement with the patient.
