A depiction of one analyst's efforts to receive and respond to the vivid impressions of raw and sometimes unmentalized experiences, as highlighted in the therapeutic relationship. This book integrates the work of Klein, Winnicott, Bion and Tustin.

An extraordinary depiction of one analyst's efforts to receive and respond to the vivid impressions of her patients raw and sometimes even unmentalized experiences as they are highlighted in the transference-countertransference connection. Mitrani attempts to feel, suffer, mentally transform, and, finally, verbally construct for and with the patient possible meanings for those immediate versions of lifes earliest experiences as they are re-enacted in the therapeutic relationship. She uses insights from this therapeutic work to contribute to the metapsychology of British and American object...

This volume consists of a series of essays, initially inspired over thirty years ago by Freud's paper on Gradiva -- -she who steps along.-

Many people come to analysis appearing quite ordinary on the surface. However, once below that surface, we often come into contact with something quite unexpected: extra-ordinary protections, created to keep at bay any awareness of deeply traumatic happenings occurring at some point in life. Judith Mitrani investigates the development and the function of these protections. She weaves detailed clinical observations with a variety of analytical concepts, and her original notions provide tools for understanding the infantile transference/countertransference and for the refinement of our...

Frances Tustin Today explores some of the ways and means by which Tustin's work has enabled psychoanalytic clinicians to enter into the elemental domain of sensation: what Bion called the 'proto-mental' area of the psyche-soma. Through detailed clinical contributions of several of her exponents worldwide, this book demonstrates how her ideas -- rooted in decades of work with children on the autistic spectrum -- have influenced and are being expanded, extended and applied to the treatment of ordinary patients from early childhood through adulthood.
