While playing an important role in psychic development and sustenance as well as in triggering or causing psychopathology, neighbors have attracted little attention from psychoanalysts. Freud's wry protest against the Biblical injunction to love thy neighbor as thyself and Volkan's psychopolitical studies of ethnic neighbors are exceptions in this regard. Taking them as a starting point but going much farther, this paper elucidates the complex relationships that exists between actual neighbors. It also sheds light on the “neighborly” aspects of the analyst–patient bond. Finally, it underscores the existence of unassimilated self-representations within each individual that can be viewed as neighbors to his or her core self and deserve benevolent acknowledgment and acceptance.

邻居：一些精神分析的反思

虽然在心理发展和维持以及引发或引起精神病理学方面发挥重要作用，但邻居很少引起精神分析学家的关注。弗洛伊德对《爱邻如己》的圣经禁令的讽刺抗议和沃尔坎对种族邻居的心理政治研究在这方面是个例外。本文以它们为起点但走得更远，阐明了实际邻居之间存在的复杂关系。它还揭示了分析师与患者关系的“邻里”方面。最后，它强调了每个人内部都存在未同化的自我表现，这些自我表现可以被视为他或她的核心自我的邻居，值得善意的承认和接受。
