What Silence<\/span> Says<\/strong><\/h4>\n

In a psychoanalysis session<\/span>, there are silences in between as the analysand<\/span> puts into words what is going through his mind. The silence<\/span> of the analysand<\/span> in the session<\/span> has meaning as much as the words. Throughout the history of psychoanalysis, the analysand<\/span>’s silence<\/span> has attracted as much attention as his\/her expression<\/span> with words and the meaning of this silence<\/span> has been discussed. The prevailing perspectives in different periods have shaped how this silence<\/span> is interpreted and handled.  Silences in session<\/span> are sometimes a moment of contemplation, with the analyst<\/span>’s simple question “what’s on your mind?”, or, typically, a comment followed by silence<\/span>. If the analysand<\/span> finds the comment correct, there is often a short silence<\/span> followed by words of affirmation; if the analysand<\/span> finds it incorrect, the silence<\/span> may be prolonged.  Sometimes the analysand<\/span>’s silence<\/span> is accompanied by tension<\/span> and distress<\/span> in the body. The words seem to come out with difficulty, with effort. The analysand<\/span> seems to be struggling to continue verbal expression<\/span>. This is a different kind of silence<\/span> and needs to be understood. In the early stages of psychoanalysis, the analysand<\/span>’s silence<\/span> was seen as resistance<\/span> and an obstacle to be overcome. Over time, as the role of the ego<\/span> became more prominent, the meaning of resistance<\/span> and its adaptive function<\/span> were emphasized. The analysand<\/span>’s silence<\/span> was seen not only as an obstacle, but<\/span> as a source from which the nature of their intrapsychic<\/span> conflicts could be understood. The analysand<\/span>’s silence<\/span> may not only be a resistance<\/span>, but<\/span> also a source of information through the transference<\/span> response. What happened in the past is repeated in the session<\/span>. A past event in the analysand<\/span>’s life where silence<\/span> was of special importance may be unconsciously enacted in the session<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The regression provided by the analyst<\/span>’s silence<\/span> in the session<\/span> activates the unconscious<\/span> fantasies of the analysand<\/span>. However, the silence<\/span> of the psychoanalyst<\/span> may have a meaning beyond the technique<\/span>. Sometimes the analyst<\/span>’s silence<\/span> is related to intrapsychic<\/span> processes, sometimes it is part of the interaction with the analysand<\/span> in the transference-countertransference process.  It becomes possible to recognize the unconscious<\/span> meaning of silence<\/span> within this dyadic interaction. How silence<\/span> is interpreted and addressed from different psychoanalytic perspectives in the interaction of the analytic dyad will be discussed with case<\/span> vignettes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
