Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper addresses major changes that occurred in the analytic discourse between the author and her patients, following the catastrophe of 9/11. The author, an immigrant analyst, discusses new realizations she developed about herself during this period. She offers clinical examples to illustrate that an analyst’s brutal honesty with herself, about difficult feelings that sometimes come to light as a result of external events, allows her analytic patients to reach parts of themselves that might otherwise have been kept concealed in the analysis.
期刊介绍:
The Psychoanalytic Study of the Child is recognized as a preeminent source of contemporary psychoanalytic thought. Published annually, it focuses on presenting carefully selected and edited representative articles featuring ongoing analytic research as well as clinical and theoretical contributions for use in the treatment of adults and children. Initiated in 1945, under the early leadership of Anna Freud, Kurt and Ruth Eissler, Marianne and Ernst Kris, this series of volumes soon established itself as a leading reference source of study. To look at its contributors is to be confronted with the names of a stellar list of creative, scholarly pioneers who willed a rich heritage of information about the development and disorders of children and their influence on the treatment of adults as well as children. An innovative section, The Child Analyst at Work, periodically provides a forum for dialogue and discussion of clinical process from multiple viewpoints.
