This discussion examines the theme of time as it is experienced by someone who has suffered a loss, in an attempt to understand and differentiate certain contrasts in these authors' approaches to theory and technique. The discussant argues that the frame is a vital tool in helping the analyst to gain access to the differential interplay between awareness of mortality and our flight from it. Finally, the discussant asks whether certain prevalent relational themes, such as mutuality, empathy, and the ubiquity of enactments, have contributed to an atmosphere in which attention to the frame can recede.
