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.
