In analytic psychotherapy, language provides form for the patient's conscious and unconscious material. Therefore, language creates a space for patient expression and a medium for therapeutic work. The space of language in analytic therapy is comparable to Winnicott's transitional space. The transitional space of language is independent of the number of languages the patient uses in therapy but transitional space of language is made particularly manifest during the moments of language switch Paying close attention to language switch during therapy may reveal the transitional space of language, the special words with transitional object qualities and, finally, the symbolic functions of language.
在分析性心理治疗中，语言为患者的意识和无意识材料提供形式。因此，语言为患者表达创造了空间，并成为治疗工作的媒介。分析治疗中语言的空间类似于温尼科特的过渡空间。语言的过渡空间独立于患者在治疗中使用的语言数量，但语言的过渡空间在语言转换时刻尤为明显。在治疗过程中密切关注语言转换可能会揭示语言的过渡空间、具有过渡客体特质的特殊词汇，以及最终语言的象征功能。
