ABSTRACT
This chapter introduces the analyst’s enactive witnessing of traumatic memory phenomena. The clinical aim is not to symbolize or create coherent narrative from this material but to create an experience of being with the patient in living through its repetition within in the analytic setting. The transference is regarded as the scene of address by the patient whose enactive memory phenomena is testimony to what in history is action that exceeds the symbolic. It is the presence of the analyst, his being with the patient that creates the possibility of this address.
