This paper considers the topic of the 'good' within the literature and in clinical work. Milder forms of the good which arise on the personal level generate defences against personal vulnerability. More powerful forms of the good, which the author calls the 'truly good', arise on an archetypal level and overwhelm the ego, generating fear, even terror. The 'truly good' invokes defences against the dissolution of an intact sense of self. In both mild and intense forms, the good will arise in every analysis, will challenge boundaries of both client and analyst, and touch the core of the analytic relationship. It demands acknowledgement. Within these two categories, the author identifies five forms of the good that may arise in containable and uncontainable intensities: beauty, intimacy, becoming, love, and encounters with the divine. Exploring encounters with the good in its various forms expands the range of tolerable human experience - one of the fundamental goals of analysis. Living the good, or at times suffering the truly good, furthers individuation as it enlarges access to experiences of profound meaning, including the divine or the numinous.

善的恐怖：在经验的边缘工作

本文考虑了文献和临床工作中的“好”主题。在个人层面上出现的更温和的商品形式会产生对个人脆弱性的防御。更强大的善，作者称之为“真正的善”，在原型层面出现并压倒自我，产生恐惧，甚至恐惧。“真正的善”会引发对完整自我意识瓦解的防御。在温和和强烈的形式中，善将在每次分析中出现，将挑战客户和分析师的界限，并触及分析关系的核心。它需要承认。在这两个类别中，作者确定了可能出现在可控制和不可控制强度中的五种形式的善：美、亲密、成为、爱、并与神相遇。探索与各种形式的善的相遇扩大了人类可容忍的经验范围——这是分析的基本目标之一。过着美好的生活，或有时遭受真正的美好，进一步个性化，因为它扩大了获得深刻意义的体验的途径，包括神圣的或神秘的。
