[High frequency long-term analysis and psychoanalytic practice. Utopia and reality].

On the basis of the prognostic study of psychotherapeutic treatment in the Federal Republic and of the evaluation of more than 1000 applications for insurance benefits submitted in the years from 1973 to 1983, it is suggested that high-frequency long-term analysis is the exception rather than the rule and that it is carried on almost exclusively by a small group of "privileged" therapists. The author asks what this implies for the definition of psychoanalysis and for daily treatment practice. Are therapists being trained for a kind of treatment that they will rarely or never practice? The author urges resumption of the discussion of theory and technique of psychoanalysis in which these questions will be considered.
