"One of the aims of this game is to reach to the child's ease and
so to his fantasy and so to his dreams. What a lovely description
of an easy interplay between two people, leading to the
communication of, even the creation of, inner life. Winnicott was a
theorist of the unnoticed obvious, as much in this statement about
his squiggle game as in his recognition of the eternal phenomenon
of transitional objects. But it is also a commonplace of clinical
psychoanalytic practice that no sooner is inner life contacted, and
a beginning link made to the external world, no sooner do both
parties realize that the behavior that seemed so idiosyncratic
actually has relational meaning, than something else happens:
transference, and taking the transference becomes the new, vital
and risky clinical problem.This book reports on clinical work in,
and at the boundaries of, the intermediate space between patient
and therapist, perhaps the space between reaching toward dreams and
taking the transference. Though the clinical work to be described
here was influenced quite deeply by the writing of Winnicott
primarily and then of Lacan, it is meant to stand for itself as the
record of--and a set of stories about--one therapist s experiences
and learning. The chapters that follow take up a range of clinical
conditions (hopelessness, self-destructiveness, psychosis),
clinical phenomena (regression, impasse, trauma), technical issues
(interpretation, transference, free association) and related topics
(dreams, creativity, the analytic setting). Most of this work took
place at the Austen Riggs Center, a small psychiatric hospital in
Stockbridge, Massachusetts, in which quite troubled patients are
offered intensive psychoanalytic psychotherapy in a completely open
and voluntary therapeutic community setting."
