Neutrality is a central concept within the theory of psychoanalytic technique. We spell out the major controversies in which the concept has become embroiled, and provide a definition that we believe coincides with actual psychoanalytic practice. We discuss its merits and weaknesses, noting also the negative consequences of relying on older definitions. We relate neutrality to the interpretive process, indicating ways interpretation protects neutrality and is made more effective by it. We discuss the complex and controversial relation between neutrality and the analyst's therapeutic intent.
中立性是精神分析技术理论中的一个核心概念。我们阐述了这一概念所卷入的主要争议，并给出了一个我们认为与实际精神分析实践相符的定义。我们讨论了它的优点和缺点，同时也指出了依赖旧定义的负面后果。我们将中立性与解释过程联系起来，指出解释保护中立性的方式以及中立性使解释更有效的方式。我们讨论了中立性与分析师治疗意图之间复杂且有争议的关系。
