In the first part of this paper, the Author describes the complexity of the virtual treatments in which telephones and other IT tools or platforms are used to simulate the analytical work which until recently took place almost exclusively in a corporeal co-presence in the analytical study. He also hypothesizes the loss of differentiation between the different psychodynamic therapies as the effect of an imitative defense. In the second clinical part he highlights how psychoanalytic treatment in presence is essential to grasp the unconscious communications of early levels of the mind which are expressed, within the transference/countertransference relationship, through unconscious bodily communications.

The paper considers a "befallment" that occurred in the course of analysis at a time when the focus of work was too much at a conscious level, dissociated from the patient's embodied and visceral depths. A rigidly held attitude of focal attention is considered as potentially a defence against embodied experiences of overwhelm and vulnerability that may haunt shadowy realms which remain unlit by the narrow beam of conscious awareness. Rather as a dream drifts in from the unconscious, an enactment by the analyst brought neglected aspects of the transference and countertransference relationship into the room. Later, the patient's own dreaming mind offered images that suggested an underlying dynamic. These subtle communications, alongside the patient's attitude toward the analyst's lapse, are considered as factors in the achievement of greater embodied integration. The analyst's difficulty in arriving at a formulation of such events is discussed, along with the necessity of holding such "befallments" in mind over long periods of time before any explanation can be adumbrated.
