The method of free association, especially in its self-observative aspect, may be seen as a useful criterion for differentiating among various clinical approaches to psychoanalysis, not only as they evolved in the course of its history but also as they are being practiced today. It is suggested that it may be of some relevance to view the existing variants of clinical psychoanalysis as being based upon differing emphases on one or another of the basic operational concepts, such as free association, interpretation, and the mental disposition of the analyst.
自由联想的方法，尤其是在其自我观察方面，可以被视为区分精神分析各种临床方法的有用标准，这不仅体现在其历史发展过程中，也体现在当今的实践中。有人认为，将现有的临床精神分析变体视为基于对诸如自由联想、解释和分析师的心理倾向等基本操作概念中的一个或另一个的不同强调，可能具有一定的相关性。
