The manifestations of these fantasies are demonstrated in a work of fiction by Yukio Mishima. The Temple of the Golden Pavillion. As is the case in other writings of Mishima there is a fusion of aggressive and libidinal drives and a preoccupation with death. The primal scene is directly connected with pyromania and destructive \"acting out\" of fantasies. This article is timely with regard to understanding contemporary events of cultural and national destruction.","PeriodicalId":76662,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of the American Academy of Psychoanalysis","volume":"57 1","pages":"241-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75512248","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through a series of dreams occurring during a finite period of the working through process the author shows us how he utilizes the feelings in the dreams to facilitate associations. By connecting past dreams with the actual one being discussed plus writing about his own associations to present and past dreams, while using confrontation and clarification Bonime gives us a clear picture of his day-to-day creative process of collaboration with his patient. As an incomplete work, still in its draft form, this article has the richness of a work in progress. It allows us a clear view of the work of a seasoned, innovative, engaged, and committed analyst with a patient through time, work mainly anchored in his deep understanding of the human psyche, his creative use of dreams, and his commitment to helping the other evolve into his/ her best sense of self.</p>","PeriodicalId":76662,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of the American Academy of Psychoanalysis","volume":"30 4","pages":"557-72"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1521/jaap.30.4.557.24197","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"22254094","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article, in contrast, argues that this distinction between tragedy and hopefulness is not incidental and indeed stems out of the essential differences between the legends of Oedipus and Isaac, which themselves reflect the opposing life views emerging from Athens and Jerusalem.
