ABSTRACT

Having recognised the transitory emergence of daily approximations to the Kleinian depressive position in d, the vocalised, empirically demonstrable presence of d itself takes its place as a recognisable conceptual d element in psychodynamic thinking. As d, its transformation from clinical particularity to clinical universality, about which new, derivative particularities may be generated, achieves possibility. The present chapter links Chapter 2, on the recognition of pathological clinical forms, to Chapter 4, on the recognition of dyadically shared, d emergences.
