对开业从事精神分析的医生的建议
Recommendation to physicians pracstising psycho-analasis(1912e)
译者:斑鸠
The technical rules which I am putting forward here have been arrived at from my own experience in the course of many years after unfortunate results had led me to abandon other methods. It will easily be seen that they (or at least many of them) may be summed up in a single precept. My hope is that observance of them will spare physicians practising analysis much unnecessary effort and guard them against some oversights. I must however make it clear that what I am asserting is that this technique is the only one suited to my individuality; I do not venture to deny that a physician quite differently constituted might find himself driven to adopt a different attitude to his patients and to the task before him.
我正要提出的这些技术规则,是在那些令人遗憾的结果促使我放弃了其他的方法之后,在许多年的过程中,从我自己的经验里总结得出的。这会很容易看到,它们(或者至少是它们中的许多)是用一个单一的规则总结出来的。我的希望是,对这些规则的遵守会节省开业从事精神分析的医生的许多精力,并且会防止他们的一些疏忽。然而,我必须澄清,我正在主张的东西是这个仅适合我个人的技术。我不敢否认说,一个(理论)构成十分不同医生可能会感觉自己受到驱使而对他的病人和他眼前的任务采取一种不同的态度。
(a) The first problem confronting an analyst who is treating more than one patient in the day will seem to him the hardest. It is the task of keeping in mind all the innumerable names, dates, detailed memories and pathological products which each patient communicates in the course of months and years of treatment, and of not confusing them with similar material produced by other patients under treatment simultaneously or previously. If one is required to analyse six, eight, or even more patients daily, the feat of memory involved in achieving this will provoke incredulity, astonishment or even commiseration in uninformed observers. Curiosity will in any case be felt about the technique which makes it possible to master such an abundance of material, and the expectation will be that some special expedients are required for the purpose.
