“…These observations have been confirmed by Schlessinger and Robbins' (1974) study, and by us. The Pfeffer approach elicited from former patients phenomena ordinarily thought to be limited to an ongoing psychoanalytic treatment process.…”

“…In contrast to some previous follow-up studies in psychoanalysis, we have not used the kind of psychoanalytic follow-up interviews used by Pfeffer (1959Pfeffer ( , 1961Pfeffer ( , 1963 and others after him (Leuzinger-Bohleber et al 2003;Oremland, Blacker, and Norman 1975;Schlessinger and Robbins 1974). The Pfeffer approach seems to foster regression in the interview situation, which may turn the follow-up study into a kind of mini-analysis (Ticho 1967).…”

Long-term follow-up studies of long-term psychoanalytically oriented psychotherapy or psychoanalysis are extremely rare, and few have focused on the post-treatment process itself. In the Stockholm Outcome of Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy project, one of the results was that patients in psychoanalysis continued to improve after termination to a higher degree than patients in long-term psychotherapy. In this study 20 patients selected from the project were interviewed on two occasions, one and two years after termination, in order to explore how they described their post-treatment processes. The interviews were studied qualitatively using a multiple case study design, and categories of different types of post-treatment development were created from these case studies. Results indicate that the variation within treatment groups is large, and that development may continue in several ways after termination. The most striking difference between psychoanalysis and psychotherapy was not, as hypothesized, in the self-analytic function, but in various self-supporting strategies described by former analysands but not by former psychotherapy patients. However, only self-analysis was significantly correlated with post-termination improvement across both treatments. Three patients improving after termination and three deteriorating are described in detail as illustrations. Some methodological constraints of the design limit the generalizeability of results.

“…Self‐analysis is made up of several capacities developed in psychoanalysis and is the result of certain ways of analyzing (Busch, 2007). A number of analysts (Curtis, 1979; Goldberg, 1994; Schlesinger and Wolitzky, 2002; Schlessinger and Robbins, 1974) seem to view the path to self‐analysis as a by‐product of analysis (i.e. an identification with the analyst).…”
