Life crises are severe psychological states that may elicit either growth and positive change or harm and limited development in those experiencing them. This article examines various intersubjective elements of crisis states in light of some of the significant theoretical and clinical developments in psychoanalytic thinking. Amongst these is the mutual influence believed to exist between those experiencing a crisis and those in close relational surroundings. It is proposed herein that some of the actions and reactions of those experiencing a crisis are, in fact, enactments expressing the wishes, fantasies, and needs of others around them. An appropriate interpretation of these enactments can relieve the anxiety accompanying the sense of loneliness, strangeness, and exceptionality that so often characterize crisis states.
生活危机是严重的心理状态，可能会在经历这些危机的人身上引发成长与积极变化，也可能造成伤害并限制其发展。本文根据精神分析思想中的一些重要理论和临床进展，审视危机状态的各种主体间因素。其中包括认为处于危机中的人与关系密切的周围人之间存在相互影响。本文提出，处于危机中的人的一些行为和反应实际上是在表达周围其他人的愿望、幻想和需求。对这些行为进行恰当的解读可以缓解伴随孤独感、陌生感和异常感而来的焦虑，而这些感觉常常是危机状态的特征。
