Abstract
ABSTRACT Interpretation and insight are a valuable asset in the treatment, but not enough to generate change. Mutative change depends on the analyst’s being in the relation, rather than on his purposive doing. “Coasting” is when the process seems to flow easily and pleasantly, but nothing happens. The analyst is partly aware of it but does not act. This is solved when a new situation emerges unbidden in either or both parties. Relational freedom and therapeutic action are not chosen but emerge unexpectedly from the field and change it. Such non-causal approach is unacceptable for the orthodox versions of classical psychoanalysis.
