CONTEMPLATING ENDINGS IN PSYCHOANALYSIS:SOME THOUGHTS ON THE USE OF REVERIE, DREAMS AND EMOTIONAL COMMUNICATION AS TRANSITIONAL EXPERIENCE ACROSS THE ANALYTIC PROCESS
Presenter: Joseph A. Cancelmo, Psy.D., FIPA
The inescapable reality that everything ends accompanies the entire psychoanalytic process — an especially painful truth for those who have endured early trauma and developmental failure. Fears and wishes that accompany concrete object need and therapeutic zeal may forge a powerful collusion from both sides of the couch to avoid or perpetuate the analytic process. In this presentation and related clinical vignettes that span from first moments of contact through endings, termination is considered as an ‘unthought known:’ a spectre of separation and individuation that elicits existential dread of loss and death. Experiencing and interpreting via reverie, dreams and emotional communication in the transference-countertransference can help to foster a process where ending can be ‘conceived’ as a bearable thought – a ‘transitional organizing experience’ via the dyad.
Joseph A. Cancelmo, Psy.D., FIPA Past President, Training and Supervising Psychoanalyst (Fellow) and Faculty: IPTAR. Fellow: IPA. Dr. Cancelmo is a school and clinical psychologist who has written on the application of Winnicott’s construct of the Transitional Realm to clinical technique and applied psychoanalytic consultation. He is a graduate of IPTAR’s Adult Program and the Socio-Psychoanalytic Organizational Training Program, and currently serves as Chair of IPTAR’s L.J.Gould Center for Systems-Psychoanalytic Studies.
