A Framework for the Imaginary
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-enacte…

Unintegration, Adhesive Identification, and the Psychic Skin
Excogitating Bion’s Cogitations
The author takes up a number of Bion's musings posthumously published as Cogitations (1992) and attempts to demonstrate the clinical usefulness of Bion's thoughts. She offers some new models and some points of technique that might be derived from following the trail of these selected fragments of Bion's thinking. Several detailed clinical examples are offered for clarification and illustration
Trying to enter the long black branches
The author suggests a number of technical extensions/clinical applications of Frances Tustin's work with autistic children, which are applicable to the psychoanalysis of neurotic, borderline and psychotic adults. These are especially relevant to those individuals in whom early uncontained happenings (Bion) have been silently encapsulated through the use of secretive autosensual maneuvers related to autistic objects and shapes. Although such encap…

Bodily centered protections in adolescence
In this paper, the author discusses the recurrence of infantile, proto-mental functioning in adolescence mainly in the context of the work of Frances Tustin. She demonstrates, through clinical example, how the tendency to resort to bodily centered and sensation-dominated protections is reactivated on a grand scale when the internal and external physical and psychological changes, brought on in puberty, are felt to be potentially overwhelming. She…
Some technical implications of Klein's concept of ‘premature ego development’
In this paper, the author revisits the problem of ‘premature ego development’ first introduced by Melanie Klein in 1930. She also highlights several developments in post‐Kleinian thinking since the publication of that paper, which can be seen as offshoots of or complements to Klein's work. The author proposes a link between this category of precocious development and the absence of the experience of what Bion termed the ‘containing object.’ She p…

Taking the Transference
In this clinical paper, the author presents a coherent model for conceptualising the process of establishing a ‘containing object’ in the mind of the analysand throughout the course of analysis. The technical implications offered in this model derive mainly from concepts and notions put forward in three papers by Wilfred Bion and explicated by the present author: ‘A theory of thinking’ (1962/1988), in which Bion emphasises what he calls ‘realisti…

The Case of 'The Flying Dutchman' and the Search for a Containing Object
In this clinical communication, detailed excerpts from a nine-year analysis are presented to illustrate the importance of 'taking the transference', the significance of Bion's concept of the 'container' and his extension of the work of Melanie Klein to include projective identification as a form of primitive communication, as well as emphasising the patient's search for the coherence and meaning in his experience. The author further demonstrates …
Unbearable Ecstasy, Reverence and Awe, and the Perpetuation of an “Aesthetic Conflict”
The author discusses Tustin's concept of the unbearable ecstasy of at-one-ment and her attentiveness to the importance of the containing function of the mother, Bion's distinction between "reverence and awe" and defensive idealization, and Meltzer's notion of the "aesthetic conflict." Each theme has bearing upon the provocation or mitigation of envy, the process of introjection and the development of both healthy and pathological internal object …
Analytic Listening, Transference Interpretation, and the Emergence of Infantile Dependency
Toward an Understanding of Unmentalized Experience
The term unmentalized experience is defined, elaborated, explicated, and illustrated with clinical examples from the analysis of adult patients. The origins of the author's conceptualization of the term are traced from Freud's early notion of the "anxiety equivalent" through the work of present-day object relations theorists. A model for the somatic recording of early pre- and postnatal experience is derived from Stern's research in the field of …
