Resistance: Friend or Foe?
Abstract
This paper shows resistances in a benign light. The view is presented that psychoanalysts able to view resistances in a friendly light as challenges and guides, rather than as onerous roadblocks, experience maximum success for the patient and maximum satisfaction for themselves. The use of psychoanalytic technique to this end is demonstrated.
