12). Where Freud sees the problem of wish, Winnicott, with severely disturbed patients, sees the problem of need, a continuing developmental need related to early environmental failure. Green replaces the problem of wish with the problem of the formation of thought, “for, as Freud was the first to see, it is in the absence of the object that the representation is formed, the source of all thought” (p. 8). To the extent that the experience of absence cannot be constituted, to that extent is thought itself crippled.

If psychoanalysis is a “thinking cure” (Antonovsky, 1978) relating to the absent other of the transference, how are we to help with such profound disturbance? Green evocatively describes the troubles within the psychotherapy of those patients who cannot take for granted the benign constancy of DISTURBANCES OF SELF IN THE PSYCHOANALYTIC SETTING 37 the psychoanalytic setting. The setting is either one of absolute emptiness or of certain impingement. It is not a space of potential. Neither is the internal space—the mind, if you will—able to be constituted as a potential space, because for the ego to observe and for thinking to take place, an absenting is necessary, a step back, a “cut” (in Lacan’s (1977) terms) in the immediacy of experience while retaining links to it.

What I suspect can happen is the simultaneous establishment of no-boundary and of enormous gap, the gap between an image held urgently by the mother and the child’s felt potential in and of himself. The imposition of the former upon the latter is the boundary violation. Shapiro and colleague’s (Shapiro, Zinner, Shjapiro, & Berkowitz, 1989) research on the contradictory, projectively-toned images of the child-at-risk held by each of her parents might lead to the same conclusion. Perhaps the “borderline” is the child’s internalisation of the no-man’s-land between his or her parents, or between image and inner experience, especially as parental figures receive and react to her developing personality and affectivity.
