This paper develops some reflections concerning the ways in which the climate and ecological crisis reverberate within the analytic relationship, engaging the analyst's own feelings and phantasies -both conscious and unconscious- and thereby possibly affecting their neutrality. A mythical story concerning the fall of Constantinople may help illustrate the kind of binocular attention required of the analyst in attending to the interplay between the internal psychic world and the external environment. A discussion of the evolution of psychoanalytic thinking on neutrality will follow, alongside some reflections on the highly specific impact this crisis may have on both the analyst's and the patient's internal worlds and, consequently, on their relationship. A detailed discussion of a clinical case, together with some alternative understandings of the case, will be suggested, highlighting what Bion described as a multidirectional, quasi-cosmic expansion of possible meanings occurring within the analytic hour.
