ABSTRACT

Murderous super-ego: therefore avoidance of the depressive positions is achieved by not dreaming, or by dreaming with precautions, e.g. of being with the analyst or, like Y, only allowing the dream to develop when knows someone is there; instead of quietening down when his mother arrives, his dream appears to become more vivid and worse. It also explains why X seems to cling so tenaciously to my badness in the session.
