[...] The subject, the central Ego, allows for the emergence of a unity of the subject that remains however of 'surface', just like the analysis technique used. The one that Kris puts forward in this essay lays the foundations for the consideration of resistances, not as a brake on analysis, but as a system that must take an integral part. It is interesting to note that many studies, particularly those concerning delinquency, will rely on these discoveries.
