ABSTRACT

Months following the traumatic termination of my analysis I engaged in self-analytic work in which I was able to rework the events of the termination and their significance in terms of my history. Fundamental differences between my self-analytic process and that of my formal analysis led me to consider how termination may affect the ensuing self-analytic process. In this paper, I look at aspects of termination that have to do with the dissolution of symbiotic ties with the analyst; I will try to show that relinquishment of the frame provides an impetus both for consolidation and reworking of an identification with the analyst, which may enable the analysand to develop a personal way of thinking about the unconscious that differs from that of the analyst. I further suggest that there are inevitable limitations to the analytic process which manifest in the development of irreducible bastions, and that the dissolution of the frame at termination provides an opportunity for self-analytic resolution of those bastions which may allow self-understanding beyond what could have been attained within the formal analytic setting. Finally, I offer some speculations on how these processes may have played out between Freud and Fliess in Freud's self-analysis.

摘要

在我的分析被创伤性终止后几个月，我从事了自我分析工作，在其中我能够重新处理终止事件及其在我的历史方面的重要性。我的自我分析过程和我的正式分析过程之间的根本差异使我考虑终止可能如何影响随后的自我分析过程。在这篇论文中，我着眼于与分析师的共生关系消散有关的终止方面；我将尝试表明，框架的放弃为巩固和重新加工与分析师的认同提供了动力，这可能使分析者能够发展出一种与分析师不同的个人思考无意识的方式。我进一步建议，在不可约堡垒的发展中表现出来的分析过程不可避免地存在局限性，并且框架在终止时的解体为这些堡垒的自我分析解决提供了机会，这可能允许超越自我理解的自我理解。已经在正式的分析环境中获得。最后，在弗洛伊德的自我分析中，我对这些过程在弗洛伊德和弗莱斯之间可能如何进行提供了一些推测。
