| Long abstract | “Let’s get a few things straight,” says a middle-aged man at the beginning of yet another fraught session, “I want you to accept that I am a married man; I am heterosexual and happy to be so; I love my wife and my children; I am good at my work. So can we return to what I sought these sessions for in the first place, namely my chronic anxiety? This is what I need to put right and I need your help.” Of course, this demand for the analyst to get a few things clear—“straight”—is precisely the issue: the analyst simply repeats the guiding principle about free association. |
