The relation between ideals and idealizations is examined with regard to the aims of the American Psychoanalytic Association in advancing psychoanalytic education, practice, and research. Ideals are essential for preserving the past and as guides for the future. However, the idealizations that often develop in response to new discoveries and innovations may lead to a defensive clinging to the past as well as to an overly enthusiastic embrace of new ideas. Both these forms of idealization may serve as powerful resistances to creative and constructive change.
从美国精神分析协会推进精神分析教育、实践和研究的目标出发，探讨了理想与理想化之间的关系。理想对于留存过去和指引未来至关重要。然而，常常因新发现和创新而产生的理想化可能导致对过去的防御性坚守以及对新观念的过度热情接纳。这两种理想化形式都可能成为创造性和建设性变革的强大阻力。
