We have said that Kohut believes a modicum of wisdom not to be a rarity at the end of an analysis. However, he simultaneously warns the analyst (in my opinion quite rightly) from trying to aim for such a result. The analyst should not even entertain the expectation that it could ever be achieved:

...we should not, by any pressure, be it ever so subtle, induce the analysand to strive for it... such pressures and expectations from the side of the analyst lead only to the establishment of insecure wholesale identifications, either with the analyst as he really is, or with the patient's phantasy of die analyst, or with the personality which the analyst may try to present to the patient.

(Kohut, 1971: 327)
