« Why did some of our friendships, which were not superficial and had the best reasons to believe in lasting, dissolve? No annoyance, no conflict, no significant event that could explain their dissolution. No, a gradual detachment, a slow separation, an erasure that does not result from any decision. Simply, weeks have passed, months, a year, without either side having thought to wave, to take news. Something dissolved in a barely perceptible, unsensed, soft way. Smooth as we would like to disappear. »

« CONTRE-TRANSFERT Set of unconscious reactions of the analyst to the person of the analyzed and in particular to the transfer of the analyzed. It is in very rare passages that Freud alludes to what he has called counter-transfer. He sees it as the result of "the influence of the patient on the unconscious feelings of the doctor" and stresses that "no analyst goes further than his own internal complexes and resistances allow". »
