As Freud predicted, there has always been great anxiety about the
place of psychoanalysis in contemporary life, particularly in
relation to its ambiguous and complicated relationship to the realm
of science. There is also a long history of widespread resistance,
in both academia and medicine, to anything associated with the
world of the supernatural; very few people, in their professional
lives, at least, are willing to admit a serious interest in occult
phenomena. As a result, paranormal traces have all but vanished
from the psychoanalytic process - though not without leaving a
residue. This residue remains, the author argues, in the acceptably
"clinical" guise of projective identification, a concept first
formulated by Melanie Klein, and widely used in contemporary
psychoanalysis to suggest a different variety of transference and
transference-like phenomena between patient and analyst that seem
to occur outside the normal range of the sensory process.
