Summary

This quote suggests that the goal of analysis is not to eliminate unhealthy or pathological reactions in the patient, but rather to provide them with the autonomy and freedom to choose their own course of action. It implies that analysis aims to empower the patient's ego, allowing them to make decisions based on their own understanding and self-awareness. Instead of eradicating all problematic behaviors, analysis supports the development of agency and personal control over one's actions.
