Psychoanalysis does not necessarily take place only in a psychoanalytic session with a psychoanalyst. This is what the author is convinced of when she outlines the possibilities of using psychoanalysis to work on oneself, either between sessions or during interruptions in therapy, for example due to illness or vacation, but also in the context of self-development. He discusses the driving forces behind neurotic difficulties, the different stages of psychoanalytic understanding, the patient's and analyst's part in the process of psychoanalysis, occasional and systematic self-analysis, as well as the realistic expectations one may have and the possible obstacles if one does undergo self-analysis.
In a very readable manner, and with the knowledge that the book is aimed not only at professionals but also at patients in psychoanalysis or lay people interested in self-knowledge, he presents the basic points of his approach to analysis and guides the reader in the practical application of psychoanalytic techniques for self-knowledge, overcoming difficulties and personal development.
