Three Psychic Organizations and Their Relation to Certain Aspects of the Creative Process

The author describes three different ways in which individuals in psychoanalysis may make use of the analyst. Each brings together affective and symbolic communication in a different way and draws the analyst into a different way of relating. It is suggested that these reflect three organizations of the individual's experience of the object and of himself in relation to the object. Though not encountered exclusively in creative artists, each of these organizations, which the author calls analyst-as-mental-function, analyst-as-medium, and analyst-as-audience/ interlocutor, is related to a specific aspect of the creative process
