Abstract

ABSTRACTIn this article, I explore the complex dialectics of safety and risk for both analyst and patient in the analytic setting. The dynamic and fluid quality of both safety and risk are considered in relation to the ongoing levels of conscious and unconscious communication that inhabit the analytic space. These dimensions of our clinical work are expanded and illustrated through the detailed account of a 10-year analysis of a young woman battling for her psychic and physical life.
