Using psychoanalytic free association, introspection, self-analysis, and his more than 50 years of experience as an adult and child psychoanalyst, the author explores the limited psychoanalytic literature on the individual analyst’s personal reactions to death and dying. Then he describes his experiences of loss of function, diminished psychoanalytic identity, and his personal attitudes toward death and an afterlife.
