The role of emotion in thinking
Neglect and deficit in the internal object
Anne Alvarez
The talk discusses the passionless empty states seen in certain passive patients who seem to be lost rather than hiding, undrawn, rather than withdrawn. Is there a difference between a defensive retreat and a despairing giving up? Are such patients attacking links, or have links in some cases hardly been made? The paper discusses the difference between trauma and neglect and considers what might be missing and how this may affect clinical technique.
