In 1993, The Legacy of Sandor Ferenczi (Aron & Harris) was published. This groundbreaking volume contained the chapter, The Case of "RN": Sandor Ferenczi's Radical Experiment in Psychoanalysis (Fortune, 1993), which told the story of "RN"-Ferenczi's code-name in his Clinical Diary for his critically important patient, Elizabeth Severn. The chapter presented biographical details and original research supporting the rich clinical material revealed in Ferenczi's Clinical Diary. Now, two decades later, RN has continued to affirm her place as one of the most important patients in the history of psychoanalysis. On this twentieth anniversary, just past, of the recognition of her story, I would like to reflect back and recount the beginnings of my "detective" work on the Case of RN, particularly my encounter with Severn's daughter, Margaret.
1993年,《桑多尔·费伦齐的遗产》(阿隆与哈里斯著)出版。这本具有开创性的著作包含了《“RN”的案例:桑多尔·费伦齐在精神分析中的激进实验》(《财富》,1993年)这一章,讲述了“RN”的故事——这是费伦齐在其临床日记中为他极为重要的病人伊丽莎白·塞文取的代号。该章呈现了传记细节和原创研究,以支持费伦齐临床日记中所揭示的丰富临床资料。如今,二十年过去了,RN依然保持着她作为精神分析史上最重要病人之一的地位。在她的故事被认可的这个刚刚过去的二十周年之际,我想回顾并讲述我对RN案例展开“侦探”工作的开端,尤其是我与塞文的女儿玛格丽特的相遇。
