The process of interpretation and the moment of change.
The effectiveness of analytic interpretation is conditioned by a number of factors within the patient, within the analyst, and within the analytic situation. I will focus on one of these factors, part of the technical activity of the analyst that I will call follow-up interpretation, one which omitted, or even slighted, sharply diminishes the effectiveness of interpretation.
