“…Perhaps one implication is that analysts should be more open to using skilled consultants to help patient and analyst understand stalemated situations or dif f iculties with the patient-analyst match during treatment (Kantrowitz et al 1989;Kantrowitz, Katz, and Paolitto 1990a,b;Kantrowitz 1992;Elkind 1992Elkind , 1995Shapiro 1976;Vaughan and Roose 2000;Berman in press b). Disappointed candidates scored themselves signif icantly lower than other respondents on all measures of experience during analysis and were more likely to end their analyses in a state of impasse or stalemate.…”

“…Lord, Ritvo, and Solnit (1978) found that analysands with a def inite sense of their analyst as a real person also gave the clearest evidence of a full-blown transference relationship and experienced the most intensely felt mourning when the analyst died. Kantrowitz, Katz, and Paolitto (1990a) def ine self-analysis as "the capacity to observe and ref lect upon one's own behavior, feelings, or fantasy life in a manner that leads to understanding the meaning of that phenomenon in a new light" (p. 639). 1 Several analytic papers focus on the development of the selfanalytic function during the post-termination phase (Kramer 1959;Ticho 1967;Schlessinger and Robbins 1974, 1983Berenstein and Fondevila 1989;Kantrowitz, Katz, and Paolitto 1990a,b).…”

Mourning Analysis: The Post-Termination Phase

One hundred twenty-one analytic candidates who had completed training analysis responded to a survey about their post-termination experience. Seventy-six percent of respondents experienced a mourning process that lasted on average between six months and a year, while 24 per cent experienced no discernible sense of painful loss. Twenty candidates were interviewed to obtain a deeper understanding of the mourning process that follows analysis. During the post-termination phase, the analysand's self-analytic capacity is tested in the struggle to contain and understand feelings about the loss of the analyst, as well as transference reactions triggered by that loss. After a "good-enough analysis," the analysand internalizes not only the analyst's functions and attitudes toward him or her, but also a sustaining, positive internal image of the analyst. Four cases illustrate unexpected difficulties that may emerge during the post-termination phase when the loss of the analyst is experienced as a repetition of earlier, traumatic losses or as a rupture of an unanalyzed, selfobject transference.

“…The illustration provided by patient A is in line with the reflections of Pfeffer and others after him, that a successful psychoanalysis typically gives the patient a better way of working with his dominant relational themes (Kantrowitz et al ., , , ; Leuzinger‐Bohleber, ; Oremland et al ., ; Pfeffer, , , ; Schlessinger and Robbins, , ). In accordance with this, it is also argued to be a good sign – in terms of being in a process of change – that the patient is capable of regressing in the interviews and of getting into a transference relationship with the interviewer such that he or she is then capable of re‐examining and handling his or her own transference (Norman et al ., ).…”

The article argues that the concepts of relational scenario, structuralized affect and actualized affect are proposed candidates for observation of changes in relational ways of being as it is expressed in transference. A psychoanalytic follow-up interview of a former analytic patient is presented in order to illustrate how change in relational ways of being may be registered and studied. By triangulating the patient's verbal report of change with nonverbal information and transference-countertransference dynamics, one may grasp qualitative changes in relational ways of being. The case presented illustrates a former patient's on-going process of working towards representing aggression in a more direct manner and how this process is made observable with the aid of the proposed concepts in the interview situation. The proposed concepts of relational scenario, structuralized and actualized affect discussed are compared to the concept of transference used in studies of core conflictual relationship theme (CCRT).

“…On the other hand, the research carried out by Kantrowitz et al (Kantrowitz, 1986;Kantrowitz et al, 1989Kantrowitz et al, , 1990 points out the signifi cance of the match 5 between analyst and patient in relation to the outcome of the treatment. The term match: emphasizes the total interactional nature, the pervasive effect of the interdigitation of the analyst's character and remaining unresolved confl icts with the character and dynamic struggles of the patient.…”

Between the confusion of tongues and the gift of tongues: Or working as a psychoanalyst in a foreign language

The author worked as a psychoanalyst for 5 years in Germany. In this paper, he attempts to answer the question ‘How was it possible that, in spite of his imperfect knowledge of German, notwithstanding a deepening understanding of the language during his residence in the country, he was able to successfully treat so many patients?’ He starts by putting forward some distinctions between the activity of interpretation as translation of the unconscious with the patient in session and the activity of translation of texts. After a brief exegetic review of the myths of Babel and Pentecost, he suggests that the analyst working in a foreign language moves between ‘the confusion of tongues’ and the ‘gift of tongues’, that is, between Babel and Pentecost. He presents some vignettes to illustrate typical situations he encountered in his practice. Finally, he draws some conclusions from this experience of psychoanalytic polyglotism, mainly on the basis of the communicative function that modern infant research assigns to affect attunement and verbal language.
