ABSTRACT
In a world fast-paced, swept into discovery, where Oprah-esque revelations, blogging life events into the anonymous arena of the public eye, and deep-cut investigative reporting reign, where is the role of privacy in the evolution of our culture? The connection breaks and in the split-screen moment that the infant retreats to privacy, the mother either takes a deep breath or grasps. As an ineffable aspect of living, the role of passion in the analytic relationship embraces the realm of the unknown. The analytic world as well has been delicately poised on the fast-moving currents of our culture. As an ineffable aspect of living, the role of passion in the analytic relationship embraces the realm of the unknown. S. Mitchell considered that "there is always an unknown in one's self or others that is a dimension of sexual passion—this contributes to its excitement and its risk".
