This volume consists of a series of essays, initially inspired over
thirty years ago by Freud's paper on Gradiva - she who steps along.
The bas relief on the cover of this book hangs in my consulting
room today, as it had in Freud's own, perhaps as a reminder of what
we do. In Jensen's story of Gradiva, a young archaeologist, Norbert
Hanold, suffers from delusions and is able to unravel the mysteries
of his emotional life and mind with the aid of a woman who does not
challenge these delusions, but rather 'steps along' with Hanold,
gradually helping him to disentangle truth from fantasy through
what Freud called cure by love. Gradiva, originally felt to be the
source of Hanold's malady, eventually becomes the agent of its
resolution and of his return to health. What I made of this
extraordinary tale formed the basis for my concept of 'taking the
transference.' Through clinical vignettes, various aspects of
psychoanalytic technique -- useful from the first encounter between
patient and analyst and throughout the process of the development
of mind to termination -- are illustrated in detail.These chapters
are rooted in, explicate and expand upon the theoretical tenants of
Freud, Klein, Bion and Tustin and focus on the act of observing and
'taking the transference', particularly at the infantile level.
Salient topics include the importance of listening in the beginning
of analysis with those who know little about analysis as well as
with those who know all about it; technical implications derived
from works by Klein, Bion and Tustin; analytic encounters with
adults and adolescents, a psychoanalytic take on a contemporary
film, and some ways in which psychoanalysis may lend further
meaning to neuro-scientific studies on autism.
