Discussion of the case of Otmar presented by Dr. Gion Condrau. Fifth Scientific Conference of the International Federation of Psychoanalytic Societies (1987, New York),
- Comments on E. FROMM's (see PA, Vol 79:13841) article on the factors influencing psychoanalytic cure and focuses on FROMM's argument that cure does not so much involve the ego's struggle against the instincts as the conflicts that arise between life-denying and life-affirming passions. The primary aim of the therapeutic intervention is thus to heighten the patient's personal sense of conflict to force a confrontation with malignant passions and to strengthen life-affirming forces. The essential elements of analysis include insight, directness, seriousness, and a pungent, realistic grasp of life and death issues.
