Material from an analysis with a very inhibited, emotionally constricted man shows both patient and analyst encountering difficulty in \"locating\" each other within the analytic field. Paradoxically, a felt sense of connection was also palpable, and possibly/impossibly erotic. Movement in the treatment required the development of what the analyst came to think of as an \"erotic sonar\"-a \"sounding\" in the erotic body of each participant that could indicate the place of creative connection. A sensing in the body for the \"feel\" of the analytic dyad became a kinetic reading of emotional closeness or distance, as well as indicating the subtle, and shifting, tones of the relationship.

Employing Bion's concept of the obstructive object, the author suggests that NTR is characterized by a recognizable phenomenological sequence including impairment of the analyst's alpha function. When, as advocated by post-Bionian field theory, these reactions are understood as co-generated by the analytic group-of-two a more collaborative atmosphere develops in the analytic field. Just as pressure within the Earth produces movement of tectonic plates resulting in earthquakes of varying intensity, the author finds it metaphorical to consider NTR an emotional \"earthquake\" that can erupt following increasing intimacy in the analytic relationship. Clinical material illustrates how the analysand's experience changes depending on how the analyst listens to transformations occurring in the analytic field. In one case, the analyst employs a \"you/me\" mode of listening which hinders receptivity to communication via projective identification making NTR the dispatch of last resort. In a second, the analyst adopts a \"we/us\" mode of listening enabling her to employ NTR to restore a co-dreaming function as terra firma of the analytic relationship.</p>","PeriodicalId":47403,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association","volume":" ","pages":"569-602"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143543719","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
