[Analysis and analyzing as reflected in an empirical study]. / Analyse und Analysieren im Spiegel einer empirischen Studie.

The authors compare two investigations--the findings of the prognostic study concerning psychotherapeutic service delivery in the FRG and a follow-up study carried out among the members of the German Psychoanalytic Association. The former showed that high-frequency long-term analysis is the exception rather than the rule, and the findings of the latter differ only slightly from this determination.
