Abstract
In this paper, presenting two clinical materials, I discussed "the blissful moments" at times passing through the clinical situations which is concerned with the human mind, its clinical manifestations, and its clinical meanings. Although I discovered the moments in the private practice of psychoanalysis, such moments showed up not only there, but in the ordinary psychiatric outpatient clinics or other clinical settings. I found out three main features of them. 1) They will emerge after the clinician has survived the prevailing emotions through the process. 2) They will show up quite abruptly and spontaneously. The clinician is not required to think out something logically or to infer rationally. Such monent occurs of itself within the very process. This implies that 3) the clinician loses part of his sub-jectivity at the very moment. I suggest that in practice the clinician should simply work and wait for these moments without direct focusing on the patients' change.
