There must be some quite special internal difficulty to be overcome by the analyst in giving interpretations . .. for there seems to be a constant temptation for the analyst to do something else instead. ... The giving of a mutative interpretation is a crucial act for the analyst as well as for the patient, and ... he is exposing himself to some great danger in doing so .... At the moment of interpretation the analyst is in fact deliberately evoking a quantity of the patient's id-energy when it is alive and actual and unambiguous and aimed directly at himself. Such a moment must above all others put to the test his relations with his own unconscious impulses. JAMES STRACHEY
