“…We turn next to our finding of a strong positive association between patient–analyst “fit” and satisfaction in both training analysis and treatment by a non-TA. Although it is possible that, in our study, the satisfaction with treatment influenced retrospectively the assessment of patient–analyst “fit,” our finding does replicate the association between patient–analyst “fit” and satisfaction previously reported by Bush and Meehan (2011), Carr (2006), Kantrowitz (1993), Kantrowitz et al, 1989, Kantrowitz, Katz, and Paolitto, 1990, Leuzinger-Bohleber (2002), Shapiro (1976), and Tessman (2003). Kantrowitz et al (1989) described “fit” as “the analyst’s character or style provide a beneficial effect for the patient” (p. 906), though “only in 13 of the 21 cases did match stand out as centrally relevant to outcome” (p. 915).…”

The training analysis concept assumes that training analysts (TAs) can more effectively treat analyst-patients than non-TAs can. This study tests this assumption empirically by comparing satisfaction with analytic treatment by a TA with that by a non-TA in the same analyst-patients. Extensive literature critical of training analysis led us to hypothesize that analysis of analyst-patients by TAs would actually be less satisfactory than personal analysis by a non-TA. The validity of the analyst’s questionnaire ratings of satisfaction was supported by independent ratings by 2 senior analysts of transcribed individual interviews of participants. It correlated significantly with participants’ questionnaire ratings of satisfaction. Theoretically, treatment by TAs should be more satisfactory than treatment by non-TAs. This study, however, found no significant difference between satisfaction with analytic treatment by a TA compared with treatment by a non-TA. This same lack of difference in satisfaction had been reported in a previous unrelated clinical interview study. In addition, there was no difference between TAs and non-TAs in the proportion of analysts who reached a mutually agreed termination and no difference in treatment duration. Because no study has reported that treatment by a TA is more satisfactory than treatment by a non-TA, the burden of proof falls on those psychoanalytic organizations who utilize a TA conception to demonstrate that treatment by a TA is more satisfactory.

“…I think this is different from the empathic connection he and Kohut emphasize. That this personal matching or "fit" is important is attested by numerous studies that have reported a significant, positive association between "fit" and satisfaction with the outcome of treatment (Shapiro, 1976;Kantrowitz et al, 1989;Kantrowitz, Katz, & Paolitto, 1990;Kantrowitz, 1993;Leuzinger-Bohleber, 2002;Tessman, 2003;Carr, 2006;Bush & Meehan, 2011;Schachter et al, n.d.).…”
