On the subject of countertransference we attempt to establish a line of continuity between Freud's own expression >blind spot< and Fromm's idea of >counterattitude<. It is pointed out that both expressed the idea of the analyst's unconscious as an >instrument< for understanding the patient's unconscious. It follows that the decision to openly use or not to use countertransference in analysis also depends on the concept we have of it and on its extent. The psy-choanalyst's real and illusory values and his convictions with regard to human nature influence the countertransference and the analytic relationship. Analytic listening itself may be distorted by it. We must be highly aware of this to avoid enclosing what the patient says in a theoretic scheme. What is needed, there-fore, is an open theoretic scheme, more oriented towards understanding than in-terpretation. Aspects of analytic communication and of the relationship between language, thought and insight are examined. A humanistic point of view is as-sumed in distinguishing between the transferral and the real plane, and the rea-sons behind the legitimacy of such a distinction are expounded.

The single most valuable contribution of the Frankfurt School is >critical theory<. Typical and peculiar to this group was that the synthesis of the contributions of so many great minds (Adorno, Horkheimer, Habermas, Mitscherlich, Lukács, Korsch, Reich, FROMM, Marcuse, and even Freud) was not to be found in elaborations of the individual masters in their life time, but was found in the radical subjectivity of the generation that followed them. The more problematic aspects of the Frankfurt heritage are characterized by the contemporary work of Negt in his treatment of the relationship between >operational subjectivity< and social science. The thesis of social subjectivity in all its complex articulation continues to elude integration with method and analysis.
