Was It Just a Dream? Aging and Dreaming the Psychoanalytic Process
1Uudenmaankatu 11 B 15, 20500 Turku Finland,
Abstract:
By revisiting the last years of a long psychoanalytic treatment of a female patient, a psychoanalyst reflects on her own development as a clinician and on the changes in her experience of psychoanalytic generativity. An increasing ability to understand patient's shifts between creativity and destructiveness brings about a different understanding of the process of mourning, while the shared aging of the analytic dyad highlights the difficulty of ending an analysis that has become a way of life.
