Abstract

ABSTRACT The COVID-19 pandemic, mid-March 2020, catapulted us into a new frontier of distance analysis and teletherapy as an emergency response to preserve continuity with both children and adults. The digital screen served as a metaphorical mask that protected the analytic couple from transmitting COVID-19 to one another, but patients and analysts alike were thrust into a shared catastrophic trauma. This paper will describe a four-times weekly, teleanalytic journey over the first six months of the COVID-19 pandemic with a seven-year-old child that built upon a three-year, in-office analysis. Rather than regarding teleanalysis as an experimental treatment, this paper illustrates ways children can employ technology as a play object, transference and countertransference can be analyzed online, and teleanalysis can be an effective and periodic alternative to in-office work with a vulnerable child population even after the end of the COVID-19 pandemic.

技术作为幼儿远程分析的游戏对象

2020年3月中旬，COVID-19大流行将我们推向了远程分析和远程治疗作为应急响应的新前沿，以保持儿童和成人的连续性。数字屏幕充当了一个隐喻的面具，保护这对分析夫妇不把COVID-19传染给对方，但患者和分析人员都被推入了共同的灾难性创伤中。本文将描述在2019冠状病毒病大流行的前六个月，每周四次与一名七岁儿童的远程分析之旅，这是基于三年的在职分析。本文没有将远程分析视为一种实验性治疗方法，而是说明了儿童可以将技术作为游戏对象的方法，可以在线分析移情和反移情，即使在COVID-19大流行结束后，远程分析也可以成为弱势儿童群体办公室工作的有效和定期替代方案。

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.
