The vacant session and the associated vacancy rule are part of every psychoanalytic and psychoanalytically justified treatment. The importance of the vacant session results from the considerations on the theory of the treatment process and on the framework conditions for psychoanalytic and psychoanalytically justified work. The focus is on the idea of a continuity of the process, which is expressed in a reliable chronological sequence of the sessions and which gives the individual session meaning (discussion on this e.g. in Korte (2003)).
