Abstract
A written treatment summary to teach the concept of psychotherapeutic process is part of a seminar on psychoanalytic psychotherapy for PGY-III psychiatric residents. It supplements individual supervision and focuses particularly on the therapeutic engagement as reflected by clinical condition, motivational changes and the vicissitudes of transference, countertransference, therapeutic alliance, and resistance. The macroscopic view enables residents to assess better the positive impact of their efforts and how psychotherapy works.
