Corpt’s and Pizer’s recognition of the type of analytic treatment I term “analytic adoption,” and each sharing several of their own cases which they view along similar lines, adds credibility and breadth to the concept, and hopefully will lead to greater acceptance of, and interest in, the therapeutic needs of patients suffering from life-long psychic homelessness. Each expresses certain concerns about potential misinterpretations and misapplications of the language I use in delineating the principles of such treatments. I try to address these and, in the process, further clarify the complexities and paradoxical tensions involved in undertaking these kinds of therapeutic engagement while ensuring that they remain analytic.
