In Response To A Previously Useful Interpretation About Her continued need to “keep us [her and her therapist] confused” about whose desire is being expressed when older men come on to her, which they reportedly continually do, a patient recently countered, “Actually, I can now begin to feel my own desire for these men,” in a tone so newly confident and subtly corrective that the therapist immediately associated to the temerity of certain opera singers who, after cutting their teeth on Puccini, find themselves wanting to perform Wagner! On stage, no less! The therapist became aware of straining ever so slightly in her chair, as if expecting to hear something new, and found herself somewhat excited. At the same time, she felt a bit chastened by the patient for her “hackneyed” (Ogden, 1997a) thinking. In Bader's terms, without being consciously aware, the therapist was in the midst of allowing her original interpretation qua hypothesis to be disconfirmed and corrected by the patient's voice—itself part of a performative display of her own desire—as part of their ongoing effort to better understand the patient's psyche, the much contested “it” that is or is not “there” to be understood.
