    Area of Science:

    • Psychoanalytic Psychology
    • Psychodynamic Therapy
    • Clinical Psychology

    Background:

    • The analyst's subjective experience is crucial in psychoanalysis.
    • Feelings of aloneness can arise during the analytic process.
    • Understanding these feelings requires examining patient dynamics and analyst responses.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To survey the various ways analysands induce aloneness in analysts.
    • To explore the developmental origins, unconscious dynamics, and characterological settings of these phenomena.
    • To examine the role of narrative choice in shaping analytic experiences.

    Main Methods:

    • Qualitative analysis of clinical case material.
    • Theoretical exploration of psychoanalytic concepts.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Review of developmental psychology and characterology.

    • Main Results:

    • Identified multiple analysand-induced aloneness patterns.
    • Linked these patterns to specific developmental and unconscious factors.
    • Highlighted the analyst's narrative choices in constructing the analytic field.

    Conclusions:

    • Analysand-induced aloneness is a complex phenomenon with deep roots.
    • Therapeutic technique, including narrative, can mitigate or exacerbate these feelings.
    • Further exploration of analyst subjectivity is warranted.
