First the author discusses some of the reasons why psychoanalytic therapy takes time, showing in the process how the psychoanalytic understanding of time is at odds with the everyday concept of it. He then makes out a case against the unthinking adoption of the psychometric procedures and evaluation techniques used hitherto in determining the success of psychotherapy. In this way certain erroneous developments in traditional psychology can be avoided in psychoanalytic catamnesis. In the concluding section the author outlines an alternative methodology of catamnesis geared to the specific epistemological requirements inherent in the process of psychoanalysis.
首先，作者探讨了精神分析治疗需要时间的一些原因，在此过程中展示了精神分析对时间的理解如何与日常概念中的时间不一致。然后，他提出了一个反对盲目采用迄今为止用于确定心理治疗成功与否的心理测量程序和评估技术的理由。通过这种方式，在精神分析随访中可以避免传统心理学中某些错误的发展。在结论部分，作者概述了一种与精神分析过程中固有的特定认识论要求相适应的随访替代方法。
