The main questions raised in this book are: How does the analyst
help the patient to be in touch with pain and mourning? Is the
relinquishment of defenses always desirable? And what is the
analyst's role in the mourning process-should the analyst struggle
to help patients relinquish defenses against pain and mourning,
which they may experience as vital to their precarious psychic
survival? Or should he or she accompany patients on their way to
self-discovery, which may or may not result in the patients letting
go of their defenses when faced with the pain and mourning inherent
in trauma? the utilization of various defenses and the resulting
unresolved mourning reflect the magnitude of the anxiety and pain
that is found on the road to mourning. The ability to mourn and the
capacity to bear some helplessness while still finding life
meaningful are the objectives of the analytic work in this book.
