Example text
I could pick on some immediate precipitating cause, but even the immediate precipitating cause, the patient’s reaction which brought it home to me, that this was the point, is itself a build-up of previous material. Of course in fact, this patient was a psychotic, and I think that there are a number of peculiar things which apply to the psychotic patient, in particular his contact with the analyst. One way of putting it in terms of transference theory, is that it is extremely tenuous. One feels it to be a sort of umbilical cord as it were—very, very tenacious, the patient sticks to you very tightly—and it’s just a very thin line, a very thin connection between you and the patient.
Naturally one hopes that it isn’t. I think it’s rather rash to say that it isn’t, because I think that with analysis in the position that it is in at the present time, anybody is foolish to suppose or to act on a supposition that he is not showing a pathological reaction. But just for the fun of it, I’d like to suggest that one might say that a sort of ideal psychoanalyst wouldn’t feel persecuted, he’d feel patient, meaning by that, rather, the stress on the side of the word “patient” as a person who suffers.
You see, I think it’s quite right to say that of course one ought to have this kind of thing analysed (we’re all in agreement about that) but life is short, [chuckles from audience] and most of us have had as much analysis as we can afford in time and money, and it’s time we started seeing patients [more laughter]. So I think that one has to reconcile oneself to the fact that I would like to say I change from patience to security. But I know that I don’t. I change from impatience, or persecution as it were, to depression.
