“The instrument with which one explores unconscious processes is oneself - one's own experience of and feelings about the shared situation. If the self is to be the scientific instrument...an analyst must first undertake an analysis of their own, through which they should be able to distinguish what comes from themselves...and what belongs to the patient.”
