For Freud, the validation of interpretations keyed on the production of more
and new material, freed from it's repression. I think this had a lot to do with
the latter day mess of false memory syndrome, etc.
In terms of the actual dy to day analytic process, the
transference-countertransference loop is much more salient. Older versions of
psychoanalysis discounted countertransference as useful - it was seen as an
impropriety, almost. More recent usages are akin to the development of a kind
of paralogy.
