The Psychology of Silence: Its Role in Transference, Countertransference and the Psychoanalytic Process

Abstract

"He that has eyes to see and ears to hear may convince himself that no mortal can keep a secret. If his lips are silent, he chatters with his finger-tips; betrayal oozes out of him at every pore. And thus the task of making conscious the most hidden recesses of the mind is one which it is quite possible to accomplish." -FREUD (16)
