A Framework for the Imaginary is an extraordinary depiction of one
analyst's efforts to receive and respond to the vivid impressions
of her patients' raw and sometimes even "unmentalized" experiences
as they are highlighted in the transference-countertransference
connection. Dr. Mitrani attempts to feel, suffer, mentally
transform, and, finally, verbally construct - for and with the
patient - possible meanings for those immediate versions of life's
earliest experiences as they are reenacted in the therapeutic
relationship. She uses insights from this therapeutic work to
contribute to the metapsychology of British and American object
relations as well as to the psychoanalytic theory of technique. In
these eleven essays, four of which are printed here for the first
time, Dr. Mitrani masterfully integrates the work of Klein,
Winnicott, Bion, and Tustin as she leads us on an expedition
through primitive emotional territories. She clears the way toward
detecting and understanding the survival function of certain
pathological maneuvers deployed by patients when confronted by
unthinkable anxieties. In her vivid accounts of numerous clinical
cases, she provides and demonstrates the tools needed to effect a
transformation of unmentalized experiences within the context of
the therapeutic relationship. Throughout her writings, she warns of
some of the pitfalls we may encounter along the way.
