This paper explores the inevitable pain that integration requires in our individuation process. The unspeakable agony we defended against in order to survive we now experience consciously, including moments of going out of existence at the core of our madness. Clinical examples are given of these 'extinction points' and the abject helplessness analysand and analyst suffer in the face of this destructiveness. The first and second witness to this process (usually the analyst and the psyche itself) and the primordial creative life force are recognized in the process of recovery, a recovery that recoups the blessings of our finite human living.

融合之苦与有限之福——面临“灭绝点”与疯狂时刻

本文探讨了整合在我们的个性化过程中不可避免的痛苦。我们现在有意识地体验到我们为了生存而抵御的无法形容的痛苦，包括在我们疯狂的核心中消失的时刻。给出了这些“灭绝点”的临床例子，分析者和分析师在这种破坏性面前遭受痛苦。这个过程的第一个和第二个见证（通常是分析师和心灵本身）和原始的创造性生命力在恢复过程中得到认可，恢复我们有限的人类生活的祝福。
