In this discussion of Rachel Altstein’s (this issue) “Finding Words: How the Process and Products of Psychoanalytic Writing Can Channel the Therapeutic Action of the Very Treatment It Sets Out to Describe,” I show how Altstein’s approach to psychoanalytic writing, in its content and in its process, has much in common with a psychoanalytic process per se. I explore the possibilities and limits of writing about a psychoanalytic process as a form of self supervision and self analysis. In particular, I explore the implications of a suddenly terminated therapy where a patient is not available to participate in the exploration of the enactment that occurred.
