Abstract

The present article conceives the self as a perpetual flowing process. The self is best illustrated by comparison to a flowing river that whoever dips in would experience as different at any given point in time. It may, at the same time, be observed from above—not only from within the water. Psychoanalysis as a flowing process is illustrated through a clinical example of a self who is “stuck” and the work accomplished by analyst and patient together to renew motion. The presentation focuses on the moments of intervention on the part of the analyst as exemplifying the point in time of reviving the process. These moments are open to diverse interpretations to which varied psychoanalytical schools contribute. The variety of interpretations of the analyst’s interventions and the patient’s responses, as well as of the factors that contribute to the transformation of the self, corresponds to the concept of the self and of psychoanalysis itself as multifaceted processes.
自我是一个转变的过程
本文认为自我是一个永恒的流动过程。把自我比作一条流动的河流是最好的说明,任何人在任何给定的时间点都会有不同的体验。同时,它也可以从上面观察到,而不仅仅是从水里观察。精神分析是一个流动的过程,通过一个自我“卡住”的临床例子来说明,以及分析师和患者共同完成的工作来恢复运动。演示集中于分析人员干预的时刻,作为恢复过程的时间点的例证。不同的精神分析学派对这些时刻有不同的解释。对分析师的干预和患者的反应的各种解释,以及对有助于自我转变的因素的各种解释,与自我和精神分析本身作为多方面过程的概念相对应。
