Sammanfattning
The term resistance was introduced by Sigmund Freud and can be said to have played a crucial role in the founding of psychoanalysis. After Freud, the term seems to have been developed in different ways by the different psychoanalytic schools. However, as far as we know, it has not been thoroughly revised. Through an investigation of the use of the concept today within selected psychotherapeutic schools, both within and outside the psychodynamic tradition, we found an emerging ambiguity of the concept. In this paper we examine this ambiguity, aiming to clarify the use and stand of the term today. This discussion illustrates a fraction of the concept’s diversity, and a thorough revision of the concept remains.
