Abstract

ABSTRACT Drawing on theoretical contributions of Ogden, Goldberg, Bleger, and others, this discussion looks at how the frame is used and misused in clinical work. Imagining the psychic, conscious and unconscious meaning of the contents of the room, the waiting room and the office space, one sees how psychic material is both hidden and revealed. Using a clinical example, this discussion explores the ways analysands project disavowed and dangerous feelings into the frame, which is a complex intermediary space, neither outside nor inside.
