Relational psychoanalysts have been seeing ghosts, belonging to both patients and analysts, which can haunt the analytic dyad, especially if left unprocessed by any of the parties. Drawing on two clinical examples, I explore a state of “speechlessness” that followed comments by patients that alluded to assumptions about my ethnic and religious background. I make a case that in these encounters mis-recognition by the patient led to a confusion of self-states, leading to “speechlessness” and fragmentation in me. I further explore how certain ghosts of my past were called into the room in these encounters and how they possibly haunted me.

论“无语”状态：当分析师被患者误认时

关系精神分析师一直在看到属于患者和分析师的鬼魂，这可能会困扰分析二元组，尤其是如果任何一方未处理的话。借鉴两个临床例子，我探索了一种“无语”状态，之后患者的评论暗示了对我的种族和宗教背景的假设。我提出了一个案例，在这些遭遇中，患者的错误识别导致了自我状态的混乱，导致我“无语”和支离破碎。我进一步探索了我过去的某些鬼魂是如何在这些遭遇中被召唤到房间里的，以及它们是如何困扰着我的。
