Back To Basics:  In Defense of Dissociation and In Defense of Its Undoing

​

The defense of dissociation carries what could kill us. This defense interrupts our going on being yet yields to our tender gratitude for it. Drawing on Jung's prospective function even of our madness, we perceive something more in our psyche's inventive capacity to defend us through dissociating against someone else's erasure of us. Yet our psyche presses us to undo this defense, to bridge the gap dissociation instantiated. We are pressed to discover the meaning of what has nearly annihilated us and secure its link to meaningfulness that environs our aliveness. Clinical experience with transference and counter transference, with dreams and active imagination conjoins with our psyche's witnessing our terror and its transformation.
