That means weeks, months, years of work and effort for the reader who wants to understand something about it. If it is worth dedicating so much libido to psychoanalysis, it's because psychoanalysis is not psychotherapy. If it were only to cure the neurotic symptom, if it were only to put an end to the neurotic complaint, it would be out of all proportion to do so.
Psychoanalysis has therapeutic effects, but psychoanalysis is much more than psychotherapy.
In a certain sense we can say that this is what the analyst owes to the analysand. To interpret seems to be something active, not something passive, but it is nevertheless important to see the extent of what is excluded by this duty of interpretation, the area of what we can call the abstention of the psychoanalyst. To interpret means not to evaluate, not to judge, not to act and even to leave aside any feelings. So he does not say anything, only interprets. This is a choice, sometimes a difficult one which needs to be repeated every day with each patient.
