The Role of the Patient-Analyst Match in the Process and Outcome of Psychoanalysis is a compilation of Judy Kantrowitz’s previously published papers on the patient-analyst "match" and its effect on the process and outcome of psychoanalysis. The match between patient and analyst places attention on the dynamic effect of interactions of character and conflict of both participants on the process that evolves between them. This view began to shift in the 1980s, with Judy Kantrowitz’s work contributing to the development of the recognition that psychoanalysis was a "two-person" process.
Key Features

Additional Information
The match is neither a predictive nor static concept. Rather, it refers to the unfolding transaction that itself may shift and change during the course of analytic work. Pulling together the history of the shift in theory, this collection will be of great interest to contemporary psychoanalysts.
