本文重点介绍了在分析中达到“足够好的结局”的普遍愿望,一个部分是现实的,部分是虚幻的概念。我讨论了一些阻碍实现这一渴望目标的障碍,并导致结局远非足够好的终止的误导性幻觉,我们中的许多人认为我们已经取得了成就,而且比通常报道的要多得多。我描述的特点,障碍,阻塞,分析中的恐惧,在分析师内部以及两者之间的空间中,这导致结局远远不够,根据我们可能选择的任何标准。这些障碍包括未能区分“真实”与“相似”;情绪过剩;清空内部资源和治疗/分析的毒血症;对某些思想水平的迷恋与对他人的忽视;渗透压力和完美的恐惧;和恶性怀旧。在分析过程中反思这些复杂的方面不仅与更深入地理解我们和我们的分析者对结局的幻想有关,而且,含蓄地,对幻想的理解,信仰,以及我们和我们的病人关于开端的神话。
This article focuses on the prevailing aspiration to reach a \"good-enough ending\" in analysis, a concept that is partly realistic and partly illusional. I discuss some of the obstacles that interfere with achieving this yearned for goal, and lead to endings that are far from the misleading
illusion of the good-enough termination, that many of us believe we have achieved and are many more than it is commonly reported. I describe characteristics, obstacles, blockages, dreads within the analysand, within the analyst and in the space in between, which lead to endings which are far from good enough, by any criteria we might choose. These obstacles include the failure to distinguish between \"real\" versus \"similar to\"; emotional excess; emptying out of internal resources and toxemia of therapy/analysis; a fascination with certain levels of mind versus a neglect of others; osmotic pressure for oneness and the terror of perfection; and malignant nostalgia. Reflecting on such complex facets in the analytic process is relevant not only for a deeper understanding of illusions that we and our analysands hold with regard to endings, but also, implicitly, to the understanding of illusions, beliefs, and myths we and our patients have regarding beginnings.
