- Abstract
Every analyst has his own understanding of the therapeutic process that determines his interventions in his daily work, a kind of analytic compass that guides him. The writer offers a description of his own analytic compass and the manner in which this concept guides his work during every analytic hour he compass is made up of three elements or phases. In the listening phase, the analyst tries to understand the emotional core with which the patient comes to a specific session and that he tries to express. The data for determining this emotional core are the materials that come from the patient and the materials that are drawn forward from the therapist or that gain expression in the therapist's behavior. The “determination" is in terms of a tentative picture of the emotional relation between two objects. In the second phase, which I view as the interpretation phase, the therapist offers his understanding of the emotional core to the patient. The third or dialogue phase, involves a discussion between the analyst and the patient about the interpretation offered for the purpose of verifying its accuracy and allowing it to be absorbed by the patient as well as expanding the wider periphery of thoughts and understandings surrounding it. By way of illustration, the verbatim record of an analytic hour is offered whereby it is possible to assess the author's interventions according to the guidelines of the three phases that make up his personal analytic compass.
