ABSTRACT

It is helpful to think of arrivals in d as progressive realisations across time. Each is a present formulation expressing the particularities of the patient’s “how it is”, mediated from within the intuitive resonance of the psychoanalyst. To illustrate such temporal successions of d(n), d(n+1), d(n+2), d(n+3), and d(n+4), this chapter presents a set of literary recognitions which in their repetition and rhythm, parallels the emergence of d expressions in clinical process. For specific detail about the contents of this series, it might be helpful if the reader were to reference its original (n+1) articulation. It appears in Chapter 5 of a previous publication of one of the authors, “How it is across time: The road from Connolly’s store” in On Minding and Being Minded (Miller, 2015).
