Our sudden switch to teleanalysis during a pandemic: Finding our psychoanalytic footing

  • How do we maintain our psychoanalytic footing during a frightening crisis that affects us all?

This paper will consider these predicaments and explore the conditions that promote useful psychoanalytic work while meeting on the phone or through videoconferencing amid a pandemic. It will include clinical material that illustrates a patient’s negative response to switching to teleanalysis and his reactions to the global pandemic, the analyst’s countertransference, and how considering their meanings allowed for the analytic work to continue and deepen.
