title: [Sándor Ferenczis' aspirations and failure. His approach to regression from the current viewpoint].
abstract: In evaluating the findings of his experiments with psychoanalytic techniques, Ferenczi discovered the meta-function of the analyst's technique and the various forms of transference projected onto the psychoanalytic situation. What militated against a full understanding of his own discoveries was the lack of a genuinely comprehensive conception of the transference/counter-transference process as a functional unity. His experiments failed because he was unable to resolve the dilemma between technique and relationship that his dual objective had placed him in, seeking to combine a technique for transforming repetition into memory with an attitude communicating new experience.
