ABSTRACT

As Covid-19 forced psychoanalysts, psychotherapists and many other healthcare practitioners to use online platforms, internet connectivity took on new meaning. While bothersome for both patient and therapist, technology glitches can offer an opportunity to see unconscious relationship dynamics come through in sessions, in a way they might not in the consulting room. While the therapist usually controls the frame through how they arrange their office, internet glitches can come from either the therapist’s or the patient’s side. These glitches can be thought of as either purely technological or as an unconscious enactment, more like a parapraxis. Both kinds of glitches can offer the opportunity to uncover meaning in the relationship. Exploration might help elucidate either the patient’s reaction to the technological glitch or the unconscious meaning behind a parapraxis glitch. Like a ‘Freudian slip’ of the tongue in a typical session, a Freudian glitch can be fertile ground for further examination and connection with patients.

摘要

随着Covid-19迫使心理分析人员，心理治疗师和许多其他医疗保健从业人员使用在线平台，互联网连接有了新的含义。尽管对于患者和治疗师而言都很麻烦，但技术故障可能会提供机会，让他们看到会话中潜意识中的关系动态发生变化，这可能是他们在咨询室中可能不会遇到的。虽然治疗师通常通过他们如何安排办公室来控制框架，但互联网故障可能来自治疗师或患者一方。可以将这些故障视为纯粹的技术故障或无意识的行为，更像是实践实践。两种故障都可以提供揭露关系中意义的机会。探索可能有助于阐明患者对技术故障的反应，或有助于了解准实践故障背后的无意识含义。就像典型情况下的舌头“弗洛伊德式滑移”一样，弗洛伊德式故障可以成为进一步检查和与患者联系的沃土。
