This book describes some of the defences employed against experiencing the void and suggests ways of helping ourselves decrease the rigidity of those defences so that we can encounter the void and in that process engage with it progressively.
A commonly encountered experience of both analyst and analysand is that of the void. It is spoken about at different stages of therapy and refers to experiences that have different origins. Sometimes the experience of the void is around a relatively limited aspect of the psyche but at other times the void seems much more global and threatens to engulf the entire personality; the whole individual psyche then seems threatened by the possibility of dissolution into nothingness.
