Example text
In the dream she seemed to have fragmented the internal image of her analyst and expelled it in such a way that she could not remember my name. She was then left in a state of collapse, with nothing to support her and in danger of getting into complete madness, represented by the strange and frightening bus. The newsreels and newspapers represented the expelled fragments of her internal object, now persecuting her from outside, but which she could not bring herself to put together because of the dread of facing what she had done to them: this was the chamber of horrors that the newspapers or newsreels would reveal if the letters made any sense.
Sometimes she would start something and then break off as if she had never mentioned it. If I questioned her my words were felt as very concrete, and she reacted with excitement and anxiety, sounding confused. My questions were taken as an indication that I was very curious and that she had succeeded in involving me in whichever situation she seemed to want. For instance, she would announce that she had seen Peter (a 20 THE INTERNAL WORLD IN THE TRANSFERENCE physicist in the laboratory): he came into her office—already her way of saying this was such that I found myself wondering about his reason for coming.
Consequently I was able to show him that by those yes’s he might without knowing it be trying to reassure me, but that his saying ‘yes’ to me had no relation to what he felt or thought about what I had said. ’ I added that he probably felt me to be vulnerable. He said ‘Mmm’—neither doubting nor agreeing. I went on to say that this behaviour towards me seemed also to be taking place inside himself, as if a bit of him were trying to talk about something and another apparently unconnected bit of him, not listening, was soothing him.
