Bromberg, P. M. (1979) The Use of Detachment in Narcissistic and Borderline Conditions. Journal of the American Academy of Psychoanalysis 7:593-600
- Bromberg William Alanson White Institute New York, New York 10023 One aspect of the current developmental emphasis in psychoanalysis is that the concept of ego defense has become more broadly conceptualized so as to take into consideration the evolution of certain defenses prior to the full development of the ego and of intrapsychic conflict.
- One difficulty, as I have elaborated more fully elsewhere (Bromberg, in press), is that the immense contribution of the British School has tended to make detachment synonomous with “schizoid,” and patients are described as though detachment were a monolithic, undifferentiated state.
- But projecting it on to his object now makes the object a dreaded source of danger; self protection is once again sought by distancing, and by withdrawal—again the state of aloneness is faced [p. 130].”

- She advances the position that although Sullivan "has rejected half of the dialectic of human being … the unique self whose aims are individuation and experience of the other" (p. 133), there is room within the theory for the gap to be bridged just as it is inevitably bridged clinically "in every unique psychoanalytic experience that is genuinely far reaching and mutative in nature" (p. 135).
- (Transference) achieves a major impact in treatment from the fact that these feelings and attitudes are directed toward the person of the analyst, and eventually develop into the transference neurosis (p. 92). The transference neurosis is an indispensible therapeutic tool since the feelings experienced by the patient in the transference have a unique vividness in the present which make their interpretation and the sense of conviction about them especially effective (p. 93).
- "The basic direction of the organism is forward" (p. 97). What this means, of course, is that the self is not only trying to insure its stability by keeping out overly discrepant data, but is also trying to find room for these data in order to satisfy its inherent need for interpersonal growth—to move forward.
- Winnicott (1962, p. 166) stated that his motto was to ask how little need be done rather than how much can one be allowed to do.

- In the case of pathological narcissism, however, it is my belief (Bromberg, 1979b, p. 597) that the emptiness and futility that accompany detachment do not come from the lack of hope for a "good relationship", but as a functional consequence of dimly recognizing a need for any relationship at all.

- Bromberg When I was young,” Mark Twain wrote, “I could remember anything, whether it happened or not.”
- All that we were/see ourselves as/wish to be is caught up in the analytic relationship, as it is for the patient [p. 639].If one were to judge solely by the unfettered spirit in which McLaughlin's observation was made and by his casual use of the term analytic relationship, it would be difficult to recognize the historical significance conveyed by both the spirit and the language.
- But these are technically subversive thoughts and ought to be handled with care” [p. 373; italics added].Today, more than three decades later, the nature of the psychoanalytic relationship continues to be a subject of debate and ongoing reconceptualization and, more than any single dimension of theory, embodies the issues that make psychoanalysis unique as a mode of treatment that rests upon its fundamental quality of human relatedness.
- Perceived reality is increasingly thought to be an active process of the mind [p. 378]. The implication of this process for the analytic relationship with respect to the analyst's stance vis-à-vis transferential wishes, Friedman continues, is that information may not be the value of an interpretation as much as the ability to leave the patient free to profit from a chance to experiment in the therapy.
- Therefore, it is not truth about the therapeutic relationship which the patient needs … but readiness to reshuffle the relationship in various ways” (p. 382; italics added). This view of reality as structured through active interplay between two people with independent centers of subjectivity is axiomatic to any relational perspective.
