是什么让我们能够解释我们都在努力帮助病人克服的自我毁灭和自我挫败行为的重复循环？如何解释这种恶性情绪会突然地、毫无征兆地注入某些移情-反移情关系？尽管我们尽了最大的努力，为什么有些病人还是会讨厌我们？为什么我们会讨厌他们中的一些人呢？也许这篇文章的重点是，为什么我们会讨厌当我们和他们在一起时出现的那个版本的自己？本文探讨了这些问题，研究了关于我们最有毒的注射——病人和我们自己——的重复和修复问题。梅勒妮·克莱因帮助我们理解了为什么我们会讨厌别人身上的优点，而这位作者则探讨了一个互补的问题：爱别人身上的缺点是如何让自己保持天真、善良和理智的。提出了两个必要但不相容的自我-他者组织的基本分离分裂。参考一个详细的临床案例，作者研究了患者和分析师对充满羞耻感的糟糕自我表征的强烈唤起是如何在对方的精神领域中激发、发现和维持这种糟糕的需求，从而阻碍进入某些必要的治疗行为，从而可能无法发生。自我-他人组织必须同时出现，首先是在振荡时刻，最终是在同步意识中，以便分析工作继续进行。
What allows us to explain the repetitive cycles of self-destructive, self-defeating behavior that we all struggle to help patients overcome? What explains the malignancy that can infuse certain transference—countertransference relationships, often suddenly and without warning? Why do some patients come to hate us despite our best efforts? Why do we come to hate some of them? Perhaps more to the point of this paper, why do we come to hate that version of ourselves that emerges when we are with them? This paper explores these questions, examining the issues of repetition and repair with regard to our most toxic introjects—the patients' and our own. Whereas Melanie Klein helped us to understand why we come to hate that which is good in others, this author explores the complementary question of how loving that which is bad in others keeps the self innocent, good, and sane. A fundamental dissociative split in two necessary but incompatible self–other organizations is posed. With reference to a detailed clinical example, the author investigates how the evocation of intensely shame-riddled bad self representations in both the patient and the analyst can perpetuate a need to provoke, find, and sustain that badness clearly in the psychic domain of the other, blocking entry into certain necessary therapeutic enactments that may therefore fail to occur. Both self—other organizations must occur, first in oscillating moments and ultimately in simultaneous awareness, in order for the analytic work to proceed.
