This paper is a meditation on the interpenetration of mental and physical, particularly architectural, place. Its premise is that the relationship between person and place is transitional, ever in flux, person continually defining place into a continuous reality, and reality perpetually placing person. Further, this interchange occurs against the backdrop of an inconceivable void whereby the very terms of the interchange can be nullified. Such a void is unconscious and outside in the sense that it is outside what can be known. The matter of opening the inside to the outside becomes an endeavor shared by psychoanalysis and by architecture, notably sacred architecture. The exchange between inside and outside is considered using as examples the body, Freud's office, Disneyland, and the cathedral. Implications are extrapolated as to the provisional nature of the self.

Kohut's major contribution to psychoanalysis was in his systematizing a clinical approach to disorders of the self. Kohut's theoretical innovations, however, are often misunderstood for a variety of reasons, as evidenced in Dr. Meronen's paper, >The Return of Narcissism: Heinz Kohut in Historical Context<. Through redressing some of Dr. Meronen's misunderstandings of self psychological theory and his subsequent conclusions, I attempt to clarify in this discussion Kohut's sweeping technical innovations and the theory from which they are derived, all of which are reflective of Kohut's fundamentally personal vision of the essential nature of man.

Pathogenic parent-infant relationship patterns endanger developmental processes of children. Psychoanalysis with parents and their infants helps to diminish transgenerational repetition of maladaptive experiences of relationships. The aim of this extensive work is to transform dysfunctional relationship patterns and to change their self- and object-representations. The author gives an account of her experiences working in a counselling centre, where parents may come with their >problem babies<, infants with sleep and thriving disturbances or >ry babies<, and demonstrates the positive effects of a reconstructive and at the same time prospective work.
