The frontal attack on the ego's weaknesses and faults can lead to certain beneficial results, such as reducing their size and diminishing their power, or to their total surface repression but cannot lead to their total elimination. All methods which dissolve the I's faults and weaknesses still leave the I itself undissolved. All techniques which change the ego's qualities and attributes still leave the ego-root unchanged.
