- Title
Über maligne Regression und den klinischen Umgang damit.
- Authors
Storck, Timo
- Abstract
This article examines the importance of malignant regression in analytic treatment in terms of how such processes can be detected and limited as well as how they should be dealt with over the course of the treatment process. Different meanings of regression in psychoanalysis are briefly discussed, focussing on how and in which cases the treatment technique for fostering regressive processes can be helpful, namely in the perspective on regression under the aspect of an opening up or closing of an analytical space. The concepts of regression and malignant regression are considered in relation to other concepts. In this respect, the relation to an intact psychoanalytic framework proves to be pivotal as well as the perspective that malignant regression hinders a working through of negative countertransference. The article ends in a proposal for an ethical stance in psychoanalysis that consists of taking all psychologic instances into account in a balanced way.
