ABSTRACT
The difference between the analysand’s experience of the analysis with analysts who believe they know what goes on in the sessions versus those who experience the clinical hour mostly in puzzlement and uncertainty, is discussed.
Dreams seem often unconsciously experienced by the analysand as babies she or he brings the analyst in response to his deep interest in the analysand’s dreams. These “babies” may however sometimes be actings in the transference. This view is illustrated by the clinical material discussed below.
This chapter describes some of the forms in which the maternal transference seems to surface in the course of an analysis.
Further evidence of the gathering of the transference and of its key importance in laying the fundamental structure of the analysis is discussed.
NB: The first session of this report immediately follows the last one presented in the previous chapter.
