There have been many reflections, both individual and collective within our Institutes, on the effects on our work with patients caused by COVID-19 and the requirement to move suddenly from the setting of our own consulting rooms to working with patients online (see also, the previous issue of this Journal). This paper focuses on what we have learned from these experiences that can add to our knowledge about the role of the setting in analytic work. Drawing on Bleger's (1967) seminal paper highlighting the usual setting as a mute projection carrier for primitive wishes and affects, the paper explores how different patients have reacted to the loss of the analyst as the guardian of the setting and in particular as an embodied presence. Some key questions and challenges for both patients and analysts during the pandemic, when 'the setting begins to weep', are explored.

根据 COVID-19 反思分析环境的作用。

对于 COVID-19 对我们与患者的工作造成的影响，以及突然从我们自己的咨询室设置转向在线与患者合作的要求，我们研究所内的个人和集体进行了许多反思（另请参阅，本期刊的上一期）。本文重点讨论我们从这些经验中学到的东西，这些经验可以增加我们对环境在分析工作中的作用的认识。借鉴布莱格 (1967) 的开创性论文，该论文强调了通常的环境作为原始愿望和情感的无声投射载体，本文探讨了不同的患者对失去分析师作为环境的守护者，特别是作为一种具体存在的反应。 。探讨了在大流行期间“环境开始哭泣”时患者和分析师面临的一些关键问题和挑战。
