Interpretation: Time, Timing, Loss, and Recovery in the Analytic Hour

J Am Psychoanal Assoc. 2023 Dec;71(6):1085-1105. doi: 10.1177/00030651241233727.ABSTRACTInterpretation remains relevant in contemporary psychoanalysis and serves a crucial linking function between patient and analyst. Interpretation provides an important link with temporalities: the time of the analytic hour and the time of the patient's history as it unfolds in the present. Analysis, it is argued, is bounded by time and loss. Two case vignettes, presented from a Kleinian perspective, exemplify these propositions.PMID:38511895 | DOI:10.1177/00030651241233727
