when: 16 Jan 2025 | cost: FREE | address: 71 West 23rd Street suite 1400, New York, NY 10010, United StatesThis paper explores the delicate titration of twinship and alter-ego selfobject experiences in the treatment of an older Ashkenazi Jewish woman by a middle-aged Chinese female therapist, from the Covid-19 pandemic to the present. The author draws upon recent theorizing on twinship and alter-ego selfobject experiences to show the therapeutic effect of quiet companioning and emotional dwelling; the emergence of hidden alter-ego selves; self-disclosure on race; the provision of “practical advice”; and the use of virtual sessions in this treatment of a patient who is staring down the barrel of the end of life and facing head on multiple traumas, regrets of the past, and what it all might mean.
