Abstract

This paper explores the moment of change in analysis I call "the still point" through consideration of the phenomenology of when that which is known is sacrificed and the new has not yet appeared. The change process is understood as inherently relational where transformation comes about when the analyst is as vulnerable and open as the patient. Ghent's work on surrender, Stern's on moments of meeting, Jung's on transformation in the I Ching, and Strachey's work on the mutative interpretation are each considered. The still point is rooted in the collective unconscious, which provides the underlying energy for the interpersonal dimension of change in analysis. The image of the pendulum swinging to an undetectable stillness in the instant before it changes direction is used to illustrate the still point.

静止点与转换的阈限特征。
本文通过对现象学的思考,探索了分析中的变化时刻,我称之为“静止点”,即已知的东西被牺牲,新的东西还没有出现。变更过程被理解为固有的关系,当分析人员像病人一样脆弱和开放时,转换就会发生。根特关于投降的研究,斯特恩关于会面时刻的研究,荣格关于易经中的转变的研究,以及斯特雷奇关于变异解释的研究都被考虑在内。静止点植根于集体无意识,它为分析中的人际变化维度提供了潜在的能量。钟摆在改变方向之前的瞬间,摆到一种无法察觉的静止状态,这一形象被用来说明静止点。
