ABSTRACT

The author builds on Bonovitz’s fascinating study of the waiting room (this issue). He elaborates the complex function of waiting in analysis particularly with patients who are quite dissociated. Waiting occurs in the waiting room, in the consulting room, and in the minds of patient and analyst. The author explores the paradoxically active process of waiting for the patient to communicate disparate elements of their unconscious life emanating from the patient’s psychic rooms. Central to his thinking is that play often arrives to help illuminate points of transference-countertransference entanglement in relation to disintegrated experiences. The patient described by Bonovitz creates forms of play in the waiting room and the analyst brings the waiting room and consulting rooms together through her capacity to wait herself and make new links. The therapist’s capacity to hold and contain her patient’s capacity to be a nuisance (e.g) in the waiting room involved a level of caring, patience, and artfulness in relation to her patient and herself. Bonovitz reflects these similar capacities in his role as a supervisory third.

摘要

作者基于Bonovitz对候车室的有趣研究（本期）。他详细阐述了等待分析的复杂功能，尤其是对于那些非常疏远的患者。等待发生在候诊室，咨询室以及患者和分析人员的脑海中。作者探讨了等待患者交流来自患者心理室的潜意识生活中不同元素的自相矛盾的积极过程。他的思想的核心是，游戏经常来帮助阐明与破碎的体验有关的迁移-反迁移纠缠点。Bonovitz所描述的患者在候诊室中创造了游戏的形式，而分析师则通过候诊室和咨询室的能力将候诊室和咨询室合并在一起，以建立自己的新联系。治疗师保持和遏制患者在候诊室产生麻烦的能力（例如）涉及对患者和她自己的关怀，耐心和狡猾。博诺维茨在担任第三监督职务时也体现了这些类似的能力。
