Objective: The author discusses the controversial and exciting theme of countertransference, In this paper, he emphasizes the need of the analyst's presence during the time of the session and, in opposition to the cut, proposes the need to re-launch it in the direction of what the development of transference-countertransference provokes, promoted by this presence of the other and delineated by the rule of abstinence. Development: He begins on the basis that a-temporality and a-spatiality play a preponderant part in the achievement of both the patient's free association as well as the analyst's evenly suspended attention, which promotes the shaping of "transference facts" which gradually force successive insights. The analyst's advanced presence, his emotion and thoughts, origins of the incomparable influence of psychoanalysis in the development of the culture of the last century, expose him to affects and emotions provoked by the patient which are very difficult to work through. The magnitude of the anxiety reigning in today's world is extreme, and it seems that it is the task of psychoanalysis to perceive and anticipate what is to come and help it to be born. Conclusions: The author postulates the use of countertransference as one of the facets that differentiates psychoanalysis from the broad field of the psychotherapies. He mentions that the tendency to avoid it by important schools of thought in the contemporary practice of psychoanalysis places it in a controversial position, since it alludes tangentially to the relation that its exclusion may have to the tendency these days to "save" time, no matter what the cost.
