What happens when the outside world enters the psychoanalytic
space? In The Rupture of Serenity: External Intrusions and
Psychoanalytic Technique, the author draws on clinical material to
describe some of the dilemmas she has encountered in her work with
patients when external factors have entered the treatment frame.
She considers analytic dilemmas that range from how to deal with
patients' unusual requests regarding the conduct of an analytic
treatment to the question of how to handle events in the analyst's
personal life that, by necessity, must be addressed in the
analysis. As a Muslim of Pakistani origin, the author is also able
to discuss, frankly and with compassion, the role that ethnic and
religious differences between patient and analyst can play in
treatment-differences that, in the aftermath of 9/11 and the search
for and killing of Osama bin Laden, became a palpable presence in
her consulting room.
