ABSTRACT

This essay moves beyond my earlier focus on relational excess and turns a critical eye on my own work. After describing my relational holding model, I address its limitations—both theoretical and clinical. What is problematic in the implicit analytic ideal embedded in the concept of holding? How does this vision of therapeutic process both add to and narrow the clinical arena? What is absent, overlooked, or just plain wrong in this perspective? I address the dialectics embedded within the holding metaphor, their crucial and problematic implications. I then muse about what has shifted my relationship to my own theory over time. My aim is to push past othering and toward theoretical self-examination.

摘要

这篇文章超越了我先前对关系过剩的关注，而对我自己的工作持批判性眼光。在描述了我的关系持有模型之后，我将解决它的局限性，包括理论上的和临床上的。持有概念中蕴含的隐式分析理想中有什么问题？这种治疗过程的愿景如何增加和缩小临床领域？从这个角度来看，什么是缺席的，被忽视的，或者只是简单的错误？我将探讨控股隐喻中的辩证法，以及它们的关键性和问题性含义。然后，我思考着随着时间的流逝，我的关系已转变为我自己的理论的原因。我的目标是超越他人，走向理论上的自我检查。
