A table, a Host, His Guest

A clinical example (based on a dream) of the dissociability of the psyche fixated in the form of a pathological dissociation (an obsessional neurosis, in this case) : in the course of the transference, the dissociation can be remobolized thanks to the dissociability of the analyst’s psyche, which is thus contaminated by the dissociation, he can restore to the patient the part of himself and his history from which he had cut himself off.
