In this commentary, I discuss the many meanings of boredom in the literature of different schools of psychoanalysis. In discussing the clinical work presented by the authors, I comment on how theoretical orientation is reflected in the way the experience of boredom is understood: as induced by the patient, as a coconstructed experience, and as a product of dissociation.
