Abstract
I must confess to a certain trepidation as I undertake the presentation of this paper. The cause of my unease is the title of this symposium, although I am prepared to entertain the possibility that I am reading ominous interpretations into the title not in the minds of the organizers of this symposium.
Presented at the symposium on “Power: Empowerment and Abuse in Clinical Practice and Everyday Life” sponsored by the Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute, Inc. and held at MIT, Cambridge, MA, March 14 and 15, 1992.
