Abstrakt
The shuttle and condensed analysis does not belong to standard training models within the IPA but quite a number of analysts in countries and regions where no training possibilities had existed were already trained in this modality. The author has been active in this training model as the training analyst since 1995 and describes some of his experiences.
Although there are problems, specifically with the intermittent setting provoking traumatic separations of the past and present, in general, the training is effective, and brings mostly acceptable results, especially if the intermittent setting becomes regular and predictable, and analysands can create in their shuttle place the second psychic home. This evokes a sense of continuity, stability, and shapes the psychic basis for good psychoanalytic work.
