Greetings!
This month's Scientific Meeting features a presentation by Judy K Eekhoff for clinicians interested in British Object Relations theory in a paper entitled:
"Introjective Identification: The Analytic Work of Evocation"
Judy writes: This paper addresses the action of the analytic field upon the hard to reach aspects in all of us. It discusses the role of the analyst in being an attractor for the unformed and unrepresented, who then introjects the deeply unconscious affects and "calls them forth" from the patient via introjective identification. Evocation can only occur if the analyst recognizes these unformed and unmentalized states as present in herself. Then she can find them in the patient. Difficult to reach patients are hard to reach because they have retreated out of conscious contact with themselves and so with the analyst. They are difficult to treat because they evoke not easily accessed aspects of the analyst herself, including primitive bodily sensations and perceptions and require her to stay radically open and responsive to both her patient and herself.
