The psychoanalytic enterprise rests upon full self-disclosure on the patient’s part and the ethics of separateness, integrity, and benevolent curiosity on the analyst’s part. Honesty and its progenitor, truth, undergird this pact. It is therefore imperative for the analyst to be knowledgeable about what truth is.

Salman Akhtar, MD is Professor of Psychiatry & Human Behavior at Jefferson Medical College and psychiatrist an at the Jefferson University Hospital as well as a Training and Supervising Analyst at the Psychoanalytic Center of Philadelphia. He has served on the editorial boards of the International Journal of Psychoanalysis and the Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association. Salman Akhtar has authored, edited, or co-edited more than 300 publications, including 100 academic books.
