Resumen

MIGLIAVACCA, Eva Maria. Inner vision, demons and good objects: the psychoanalyst facing himself in the decision of providing analysis. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2012, vol.46, n.4, pp. 149-162. ISSN 0486-641X.

This work reports on a clinical experience involving the decision of a psychoanalyst to accept or not a young patient who stirred strong conflicting feelings in her. Inspired by associations with the figure of Satan in Paradise lost, by John Milton, the author focuses essentially on the internal process experienced by the psychoanalyst, highlighting what she herself calls inner vision and its relation with the Kleinian concept of the internalized good object. The author fully describes the session and extends into subsequent reflections which enabled the personal organization of that experience.

Palabras clave : inner vision; good object; Klein; Paradise lost; John Milton.
