Helene Deutsch’s Contributions to Fundamental Questions on Control Analysis (1927–1935) - 2010.

From 1920 on, many persons received psychoanalytic treatment by novices at the Berlin Psychoanalytic Polyclinic. Out of responsibility toward patients and in order to train and to correct analysts just starting out, the “control analysis” procedure was introduced. Since then, it has been a central element of analytical training, although there have been different ideas as to who was to exercise control and how and for which purposes it should be done. This paper examines Helene Deutsch’s Viennese contribution, first presented at the 1927 Congress in Innsbruck and again at the first Four Countries Meeting in 1935, as compared to the positions presented by Max Eitingon (Berlin) and Vilma Kovács (Budapest). It highlights both the relation between training and control analysis, and the difference between “control analysis” and “control of analysis.” Control analysis as part of analytical training is to be distinguished from control analysis as part of the analyst’s continued education throughout his or her career.
