The authors discuss the role of psychotherapy with dying patients and explore the psychological impact of imminent death. The psychotherapy case they present highlights the symbolic meaning of fatal symptoms and the light this meaning sheds on the relationship between how we live and how we die. These features are addressed in the context of larger unresolved clinical issues: Is there a "healthy" way to die? And is there a unique role for psychoanalytic psychotherapy with dying patients?
作者探讨了心理治疗在临终患者中的作用，并探究了濒死的心理影响。他们所呈现的心理治疗案例突出了致命症状的象征意义，以及这一意义如何揭示我们的生活方式与死亡方式之间的关系。这些特征是在更广泛的未解决临床问题背景下探讨的：是否存在一种“健康”的死亡方式？精神分析心理治疗在临终患者中是否具有独特作用？
