At the beginning of the twentieth century Freud and Pavlov made complementary theoretical splits in their observational field. This splitting initiated a dialectical interaction that tended to polarize the Freudian mental world of insight and the psyche against the Pavlovian outer world of learning theories and the soma. The 1950s saw an exaggerated polarization between strict behaviorists and "classical" psychoanalysts. The linkage of ideas of therapeutic action with metapsychology also dates from Freud and is briefly illustrated. The recent substantial repudiation of metapsychology has undone this linkage and paved the way for a post-metapsychological conception of technique and therapeutic action in psychoanalysis. Among a number of paradigms now available, developmental psychoanalysis appears to be an emerging model derived from the epigenetic perspective in psychoanalysis. The paradigm is capable of reintegrating the methodological splits of Freud and Pavlov. Several first-order technical implications are discussed.

There are two "psychotherapies." The first, very close to psychoanalysis, may be defined as that mental treatment whose central focus is the analysis of the patient's experience of the relationship with the therapist in the here and now, and whose goal is insight. This is psychoanalytic psychotherapy. The second is nonpsychoanalytic psychotherapy, which bypasses the patient's experience of the relationship with the therapist, and by so doing may be defined as that mental treatment based on suggestion, with the goal of subjective improvement or symptom relief. Each therapy has its appropriate role in human experience. The basis of nonanalytic therapy, suggestion, is antithetical to both the means (analysis) and ends (insight) of analytic therapy.

This paper investigates, through specific but disguised vignettes, the influence of deviations from the ideal set of ground rules and boundaries of the analytic situation and relationship (the frame) on the training analysis experience. The material reveals a significant split between the conscious attitudes toward, and understanding of, these framework infringements and their unconscious implications in the thinking of both the analyst and the analysand. Clinical interludes in which deviations are at issue, when studied in terms of the patient's derivative (encoded) expressions, reveal a shift toward valid, unconscious perceptions of the analyst (nontransference) and a variety of pathological instinctual drive satisfactions, superego sanctions, and defenses that are unconsciously offered to the patient by the analyst. The basic therapeutic contract is seen as favoring pathological merger between patient and analyst, and as gratifying pathological narcissistic needs in both participants. As actualities fraught with unconscious meanings, the deviations (when unrectified) generate unconscious negative introjects of the analyst in the analysand. These prove detrimental to the analysand's growth, the resolution of his neurosis, and his development as an analyst. It is recommended that there be two classes of analysts: those who write and teach, and those who analyze candidates while remaining on the periphery of professional activities.
