A technique innovation designed to aid the working-through process in psychoanalytic treatment is considered. It consists of an analysand, either during or after treatment, imploding psychodynamic themes that have come to be understood as crucially involved in his or her psychology and psychopathology. (“Imploding psychodynamic themes” refers to the person conjuring up affectladen images in which warded-off libidinal and aggressive impulses are expressed and then met with punishment—e.g., abandonment or castration.) Clinical material is cited which suggests that the use of implosive imagery as a psychoanalytic treatment adjunct can lead to the mastery of unconscious conflict, the emergence of new insights, and, occasionally, the retrieval of repressed memories.
