When the Psychoanalyst is Sick: Aspects of Self-Revelation Abstract: The article considers the issues connected with ‘inevitable’, ‘undeliberate’ and ‘deliberate’ personal revelation of a psychoanalyst. The author studies what makes the psychoanalyst to decide to reveal his personal information during a session as well as the inner feeling of responsibility and possible clinical consequences of it. Special attention is paid at the dynamics of transference and counter transference, goals of the therapy and denial of resistance. The author describes his own experience in clinical work when he was sick. He illustrates how self-revelation may be an authentic need as well as an important component of a psychoanalytical technique Keywords: psychology, philosophy, personal self-revelation, psychoanalyst, therapy, neurosis, clinical situation, interpretation, humanq This article is unavailable for unregistered users.
