ABSTRACT

I investigate the possibility that in order to reach truly disturbed parts of the patient's mind, the analyst also may need to mobilise similar areas in his own psyche. I examine the part musicality might contribute to this well-known idea, that is, I consider what is set off in the analyst's mind by the changing qualities of the actual music of the analytic couple's voices, and also by the musical events that occur in response in the analyst's mind. The term perversion is particularly used to explore the perverse qualities of the musical countertransference. I propose that these primal musical processes are ubiquitous, taking place at a fundamental psychic level before images or words are formed. I re-examine Isaacs' (1948) theory that the images of unconscious phantasy are the most archaic expression of the drives, and suggest that the music of unconscious phantasy may assert its prior claim in this regard, the infant's ability to form images deriving from this prior musical capacity. I propose that the words – a much later development – that are then uttered by the analytic couple can be thought of as the text in which the mind attempts to describe what is already occurring musically at the level of the drives and unconscious phantasy. I suggest that many operas offer a paradigm of this process, and offer a helpful way for analysts to think about verbal communication, both interpersonal and intrapsychic.

摘要

我调查了这样一种可能性，即为了触及患者心灵中真正受到干扰的部分，分析师也可能需要调动他自己心灵中的类似区域。我检查了音乐性可能对这个众所周知的想法有贡献的部分，也就是说，我考虑了分析家的声音的实际音乐质量的变化以及发生在分析师心中的反应。变态一词特别用于探索音乐反移情的变态特性。我认为这些原始的音乐过程无处不在，发生在图像或文字形成之前的基本心理层面。我重新审视了 Isaacs (1948) 的理论，即无意识幻想的图像是驱动力的最古老的表达方式，并暗示无意识幻想的音乐可能会在这方面断言其先前的主张，即婴儿形成图像的能力源自这种先前的音乐能力。我建议，分析夫妇随后说出的话语——一个更晚的发展——可以被认为是心灵试图描述在驱动和无意识幻想层面已经在音乐上发生的事情的文本。我建议许多歌剧提供了这个过程的范式，并为分析人员提供了一种有用的方式来思考人际和内心的口头交流。我建议，分析夫妇随后说出的话语——一个更晚的发展——可以被认为是心灵试图描述在驱动和无意识幻想层面已经在音乐上发生的事情的文本。我建议许多歌剧提供了这个过程的范式，并为分析人员提供了一种有用的方式来思考人际和内心的口头交流。我建议，分析夫妇随后说出的话语——一个更晚的发展——可以被认为是心灵试图描述在驱动和无意识幻想层面已经在音乐上发生的事情的文本。我建议许多歌剧提供了这个过程的范式，并为分析人员提供了一种有用的方式来思考人际和内心的口头交流。
