Reading Beckett in the Context of Psychoanalysis: A Literary Bridge between One‐Person and Two‐Person Psychology

摘要

>The present paper constructs a practical conceptual bridge between reading and psychoanalysis across the divide of one‐ and two‐person psychologies. Using literary examples from the writings of Samuel Beckett that correspond to the working through of internalized traumatic experience, the paper links contemporary psychoanalytic concepts including Bion's containercontained and Bollas’ evocative object, with the small grained ‘d’ arrivals embedded within the larger movements of the psychological shuttle between P/SD. These clarifications of meaning are discernible both within psychoanalysis and in evocative reading.
