Abstract
This article defines and discusses a modification of technique recommended by the
authors in the psychoanalytic treatment of more troubled patients; a modification they
call titration. Titration is defined as a conscious decision by the analyst to increase or
decrease assistance (or gratification) gradually, in order to facilitate the analytic
process. The authors emphasize the complexity of decisions in treatment by focusing
on the decision-making processes that titration requires. Guidelines and a case vignette
are presented. The authors conclude by considering some of the politics involved in the
introduction of technique modifications, the salience of the titration concept, and
directions for further exploration.
