An important element in the use of the self in the psychoanalytic situation is the analyst's deeply personal, unique guiding spirit or muse. Poetry acts as a muse for Pizer. In this context, the historical romance between poetry and psychoanalysis is discussed. A successful poem can strike an immediate resonance with the known but inchoate and unarticulated experiences of the reader or listener. Like a dream, a poem can stimulate inquiry without footnotes, citations, or metapsychology. But unlike what Freud believed, poets do not have easy access to psychological insights. Pizer uses poetry in the consulting room to >construct, deconstruct, and then construct again.< Her refusal to make such use a technique or method is supported with two illustrations from Orfano's own clinical work.}, language = {en} } @article{Orfanos, author = {Orfanos, Spyros D.}, title = {Why the analyst needs to change: Toward a theory of conflict, negotiation, and mutual influence in the therapeutic process}, series = {Psychoanalytic Dialogues, Vol. 15 (2005), pp. 743-746.}, journal = {Psychoanalytic Dialogues, Vol. 15 (2005), pp. 743-746.}, abstract = {Pizer presents poetic details of his patient's complex therapy and analysis.
