Psychotic developments in a sexually abused borderline patient. Commentary on paper by Paul Williams
(2000)
In this paper, I explore >the art of mourning< in the course of discussing two Borges prose poems, >Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote< (1941) and >Borges and I< (1957), both of which were written soon after Borges suffered enormous emotional losses. I suggest that successful mourning centrally involves a demand that we make on ourselves to create something – whether it be a memory, a dream, a story, a poem, a response to a poem – that begins to meet, to be equal to, the full complexity of our relationship to what has been lost and to the experience of loss itself. Paradoxically, in this process, we are enlivened by the experience of loss and death, even when what is given up or is taken from us is an aspect of ourselves.
An interpersonal psychoanalytic approach to testing adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse.

The experience of self is partially a narrative of one's history without memory, there is no self. Central to personal histories are accounts of significant relationships and their successes and failures. Accounts of failed relationships tend to gravitate toward two narrative themes: selfpity and guilt. This essay explores some aspects of the nature of guilt and self-pity, the different forms in which they surface, and their relationship to each other.
