The manner in which play changes us is examined, with particular attention to the role of paradox. Sustaining paradox and illusory experiencing are held as key to the framework of psychoanalysis for patient and analyst alike. Particular attention is paid to the ways in which the analyst becomes a potential object of change through playing. The transitive hospitality of playing is examined in the treatment of a four-year-old boy, and in his resurrection of a near-dead mother and her neglected child. This treatment is examined in order to better understand the preoccupation of playing within illusion, as opposed to quickly naming play content. Playing is itself transformative, prior to any reflection or interpretation that may follow.

我们研究了游戏改变我们的方式，特别关注悖论的作用。持续的悖论和虚幻的体验被认为是患者和分析师的精神分析框架的关键。特别关注分析师通过游戏成为潜在改变对象的方式。在对待一个四岁男孩的过程中，以及在他复活一位濒临死亡的母亲和她被忽视的孩子的过程中，我们都检验了玩耍的传递性热情好客。对这种处理进行检查是为了更好地理解在幻觉中播放的当务之急，而不是快速命名播放内容。演奏本身就是变革性的，先于任何可能的反思或解释。
