“What is endangered by this 'judging capacity' [reporting to the education committee] of the training analyst is not only the notion of his impartiality and noncritical, observational function, but also the idea of complete and inviolable confidentiality of the material which is the prerequisite for free association. No analysand succeeds in divesting himself of all defenses and controls unless he can be certain that the derivatives of his id will not become known beyond the confines of the analytic situation.”—Anna Freud, 1950
