Using theory from philosophy and from race studies, the author explores the countertransference confusions and enactments that can arise in working with trans and gender nonbinary patients. Case material is presented to explore in vivo the potential for enactments and toxic anxiety in the analyst in work with patients exploring or inhabiting new forms of desire and identity. Primitive states of anxiety and dysphoria may inhibit the analyst's capacities to allow freedom and reflection in cases of complex gender construction.
作者运用哲学和种族研究理论,探讨了在治疗跨性别和性别非二元患者时可能出现的反移情困惑和表现。通过案例材料,深入探讨了分析师在处理探索或体现新形式欲望和身份的患者时,表现和毒性焦虑的潜在可能性。在复杂的性别构建情况下,原始的焦虑和不适状态可能会抑制分析师允许自由和反思的能力。
