Part 3 - Countertransference. 10 The liar. 11 The psychoanalyst and the hysteric. 12 Expressive uses of the countertransference. 13 Self analysis and the countertransference. 14 Ordinary regression to dependence. Part 4 - Epilogue. 15 The unthought known: early considerations
'The chapters...all focus in one way or another on the human subject's recording of his or her early experience of the object. This is "the shadow of the object" as it falls on the ego, leaving some trace of its existence in the adult. The object can cast its shadow without a child being able to process this relation through mental representations or language, such as when a parent uses his child to contain projective identifications. As the object affects us, we do know something of its character, but we may not have thought it yet; this is "the unthought known." The work of a clinical psychoanalysis...will partly be preoccupied with the emergence into thought of early memories of being and relating.'
