The author reflects on how his relationship with Jeremy Safran during graduate school continues to inform his thinking around pedagogy and clinical training. Safran's emphasis on independent inquiry is highlighted, especially regarding the importance of seeking out perspectives and evidence that come into conflict with one's primary orientation. The author argues that Safran's pedagogical stance could be described as inhabiting a state of "pre-judgment," which is essential in both clinical and pedagogical contexts in the psychoanalytic field.
作者反思了他在研究生阶段与杰里米·萨夫兰的关系如何持续影响他在教学法和临床培训方面的思考。文中强调了萨夫兰对独立探究的重视，特别是在寻找与个人主要取向相冲突的观点和证据的重要性方面。作者认为，萨夫兰的教学立场可以被描述为处于一种“预判”状态，这在精神分析领域的临床和教学背景中都是至关重要的。
