The author presents a clinical psychoanalysis in which his Jewish patient fears that her non-Jewish analyst hates her for being Jewish. Antisemitic expressions of hate toward the analyst have been well-documented, but a fear of the analyst's hateful transference to the patient has not been previously examined in a published report. This transference led to an impasse in the treatment and prompted exploration of countertransference on the analyst's part; was he, unconsciously, expressing any religious hatred? The author examines a technical question of whether such a transference can be analyzed in the usual way as a displacement of infantile trauma? Or do the antisemitic aspects of the transference need to be examined and understood in their cultural and religious implications first and then analyzed as a real aspect in the external world before its infantile roots can be exposed? In this particular case, the author concludes that the latter approach is necessary and useful to facilitating clinical progress. The author suggests that this approach may be applicable to other analyses where there are racial, class, or religious differences and the patient develops fears about the analyst's attitude. The author offers this case as an example of the necessary integration of cultural and sociological issues into the classical model of intrapsychic conflict.

反犹太移情和反移情

作者提出了一项临床精神分析,其中他的犹太病人担心她的非犹太分析师讨厌她是犹太人。对分析师的仇恨反犹太主义表达已得到充分记录,但之前发表的报告中并未对分析师对患者的仇恨转移的恐惧进行过研究。这种移情导致治疗陷入僵局,并促使分析师对反移情进行探索;他是不是在不知不觉中,表达任何宗教仇恨?作者研究了一个技术问题,即这种移情是否可以用通常的方式分析为婴儿创伤的转移?或者移情的反犹太主义方面是否需要首先在其文化和宗教含义中进行检查和理解,然后作为外部世界的真实方面进行分析,然后才能暴露其幼稚的根源?在这种特殊情况下,作者得出结论,后一种方法对于促进临床进展是必要且有用的。作者建议,这种方法可能适用于存在种族、阶级或宗教差异并且患者对分析师的态度产生恐惧的其他分析。
