Discussant: David Goldenberg, M.D.
This presentation addresses the issue of differences between in-person and remote ways of doing clinical psychotherapeutic work. In-person meeting offers psychologically usable material––signifiers which serve as day’s residue––that cannot be duplicated or substituted for in remote ways of working. Questions of materiality, the history and specificity of location, and bodily proximity all are key aspects of the psychoanalytic frame, as Bleger’s classic formulations attest. The COVID pandemic has changed the choreography of engagement between analyst and patient: the ghostly dust in the frame enters the room. As Bleger says, with ghosts so rustled, non-process has a chance to become process. Two clinical examples highlight these points about materiality and in-person working.
