What Can Institutes Do-: Commentary on Paper by Randall Lehmann Sorenson

  • Our mortality – the fact that we will die and that we know it – defines the human condition, although this knowledge is often defensively maintained psychically as a theoretical, intellectual proposition. This paper explores one route by which such knowledge is transformed into felt experience: I suggest that how we mourn – what occurs psychically as we live the pain of loss – strongly influences our relationship to our own deaths. Because the psychic labor involved in making mortality real has compelling individual and social consequences, I position the role of the psychoanalyst as well as intersubjective aspects of the psychoanalytic process as central to helping patients grapple with their own mortality.
