The following paper serves, first, as an attempt to posit some initial parameters that may better orient an understanding of the relationship between psychoanalytic praxis and the social realm. These initial remarks are used as a starting point to consider a case where the issue of the social is brought into a psychoanalytically informed therapeutic practice. The second part of this essay focuses on a case presentation that has been published by the relational psychoanalyst, Ken Corbett, who explores family romance, the primal scene, and the difficulties of a young boy who has (the now proverbial) two mothers.
